FATTY ACID ATP YIELD
1. 10 carbon fatty acid
How many rounds (cycles) of B-oxidation? N/2 -1
Therefore:
Four cycles of B-ox: ATP
4 cycles x 1 FADH2/ cycle x 1.5 ATP/FADH26
4 cycles x 1 NADH/cycle x 2.5 ATP/NADH 10
Five cycles of TCA cycle
5 cycles x 3 NADH/cycle x 2.5 ATP/NADH 37.5
5 cycles x 1 FADH2/ cycle x 1.5 ATP/FADH27.5
5 cycles x 1 ATP/cycle 5
66 (gross)
-2 (activation)
64 (net)
All ATP yields are net
2. Four carbon f.a. 21
3. eight carbon f.a. 50
4. 12 carbon f.a. 78
5. 14 carbon f.a. 82
