A very long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (VLC-PUFA) is found in a glycerophospholipid associated with the retinal membrane in the eye. This is a phosphatidyl choline compound with DHA (docosahexenoic acid) esterified at the 1-position of the glycerol and a C-34:6

Information for questions 22-26 (15 points) In the liver, the first step in glycolysis is not catalyzed by hexokinase, but by glucokinase. These enzymes catalyze the same reaction, but the Km of hexokinase is 0.1 mM while the Km for glucokinase is 5 mM. Assume that both enzymes have similar values. The value of for hexokinase is reported to be 28/sec. In the presence of 0.02 mM of the compound known as LY-2121260, it is reported to be 75/sec.
