Under conditions where ketone bodies are being produced in the liver, how many ATPs can be produced from a molecule of lauric acid if all resulting molecules of acetyl-CoA are converted into β-hydroxybutyrate?
Express your answer using one decimal place.
Net yield of ATP???
Hi! Welcome to HomeworkLib
To convert lauric acid to beta hydroxy butyric acid we have to first do beta hydrolysis of lauric acid to form acetyl CoA and then Acetyl CoA will enter the ketogenetic pathway to form beta hydroxy butyric acid.
So complete beta hydrolysis of lauric acid will produce 6 Acetyl CoA,5NADH2 and 5FADH2.
Now In ketogenesis 2 molecules of Acetyl CoA give one molecule of beta hydroxy butyric acid with use of one molecule of NADH2.
So 6 acetyl CoA will give 3 beta hydroxy butyric acid with use of three NADH2.
Now total production
5NADH2-3NADH2=2NADH2
and 5FADH2.
Calculating ATP equivalents ,1 NADH2 Equals 2.5 ATP and 1 FADH2 equal 1.5 ATP.
TOTAL ATP=(2×2.5)+(1.5×5)=5+7.5=12.5 ATP.

How many NET ATPs would theoretically need to be used to store excess glucose as laurate (C12:0) (i.e., catabolize the glucose to acetyl-CoA and then anabolize to laurate)? Since there are 12 carbons in laurate and each glucose can be converted to two acetyl-CoAs, assume that you'll begin with 3 glucoses. Also, assume you already have sufficient oxaloacetate in the mitochondria to pair with the acetyl-CoA. Show the basic outline of the process. Indicate where each ATP, NADH, etc. is made or used. (For simplicity,...
