77
Q

What is required to get beta oxidation going?

A

Two high energy phosphate bonds

78
Q

Each beta oxidation gives you _ NADH, _ FADH2, _ acetyl coA
1 NADH = 3 ATP
1 FADH2 = 2 ATP
1 acetyl coA = one turn of Krebs / ETC = 12 ATP

79
Q

A

80
Q

For beta oxidation, DON’T COUNT the last pair of carbons, they simply become an acetyl coA

Acetyl coA turns the Krebs / ETC one time for an ATP yield of _ ATP, thus the final pair of carbons yields _ ATP

A

12

12

81
Q

Beta oxidation simplified
1- count the pairs of carbons, do not include the carboxyl group COOH
2- the last pair becomes acetyl coA and yields 12 ATP
3- the other pairs undergo beta oxidation and yield 17 ATP
4- subtract 2 ATP to get beta oxidation going

A

Example - cc|cc|cc|COOH

1- 3 pair of carbons, COOH carboxyl group doesn’t count
2- one pair becomes AcoA and yields 12 ATP
3- the other two pair undergo beta oxidation and yield 17 ATP each, 17x2= 34 ATP
4- minus 2 ATP to start beta oxidation
12 + 34 - 2 = 44 ATP net

82
Q

What is the net yield if this fatty acid undergoes beta oxidation?
cc|cc|cc|cc|cc|COOH

(Hint 12,17,-2)

A

cc|cc|cc|cc|cc|COOH

1- Five pair of carbons
2- One pair becomes AcoA = 12 ATP
3- Other four pair beta oxidation = 17 x 4 pair = 68 ATP
4- Minus 2 ATP to start beta ox

12 + 68 - 2 = 78 ATP net

83
Q

A
