Answer #1

In Bacteria and plants contain NADPH specific enzyme to generate glutamate formation. Bacteria use Ammonia as
nitrogen source for primary nitrogen assimilation.
            ?-ketoglutarate + NH4+   + NADPH -----L-glutamate dehydrogenase -- L-glutamate + NADP+   + H2O

Animal enzymes uses alpha ketoglutarate for citric acid cycle. It uses NAD+ as a principal cofactor.

    ? ketoglutarate + Glutamine + NADPH + H+ -----Glutamate dehydogenase ------ 2 Glutamate + NADP+

In bacteria the glutamate dehydrogenase reaction favors glutamate formation. In which human tissue (i.e. liver or muscle) does the reaction operate in a similar manner? Would it be metabolically advantageous if conditions in humans were altered to make the glutamate dehydrogenase reaction favor the same direction (i.e. towards glutamate formation) in both liver and muscle?

In the class we have discussed that bacteria can evolve much faster than animals and plants because they grow much faster and have larger population sizes. To put this in a context, do you think it is possible statistically that every single base pair in the E. coli genome has experienced a mutation in a 5 ml E. coli overnight culture? We know that there are ~1010 cells in the 5 ml overnight culture and the mutation rate of E....
