f What advantage is there to phosphoglycerate kinase having an open and closed protein configuration? It allows water to be trapped in the active site along with the substrate. Changing of the configuration of the enzyme makes the reaction exergonic. The induced-fit mechanism maximizes accessibility of active site without sacrificing hydrophobic environment. It forces covalent binding of the substrate to the enzyme active site.

- The following diagram shows reaction curves for aspartate transcarbamoylase (ATCase) with carbamoylphosphate and different concentrations of aspartate, in the absence of ATP (curve 1) and presence of ATP (curve 2). What do the shapes of the curves tell us about the ATCase enzyme? 2 جر [aspartate] It binds substrate through a sequential mechanism. It binds substte cooperatively. It obeys Michaelis-Menten kinetics. It binds substrate through a concerted mechanism.Why is it important that the hexokinase reaction have a large negative deltaG? Would the cell be able to generate/store energy if the deltaG were close to zero? The GAPDH reaction uses an active site cysteine to catalyze the reaction. How would replacing the cysteine by serine affect the reaction? Why do kinases require magnesium to function well?Trypsin uses a nearly identical mechanism as chymotrypsin (including the catalytic triad his57-ser195-asp102. beginning with the enzyme substrate complex draw the complete steps in the trypsin mechanism that occur to release the first product and create the acyl enzyme intermediate in the trypsin active site. The substrate for trypsin to be used is gly-lys-gly-ala
- Identify the type of regulation of enzyme activity seen in the following situations - for example, competitive inhibition, allosterism, phosphorylation, zymogen conversion, association-dissociation, feedback inhibition, etc. a. Trypinsogen, which is not catalytically active, is converted to the active enzyme trypsin by removal of a hexapeptide from the N-terminal end. b. The dimer protein kinases is catalytically inactive. Binding of cAMP causes protein kinase dimer to split into its monomer which are active catalysts.What are the effects of different light colors in photosynthesis? Different light colors will change the rate of photosynthesis Light color does not affect photosynthesis Carbohydrates are metabolized by light Photosynthesis does not require lightBecause it resembles the two physiological substrates, phosphonacetyl L - aspartate (PALA) is a strong inhibitor of ATCase. Low concentrations of this unreactive bisubstrate analog, on the other hand, enhance reaction velocity in the presence of substrates. The reaction rate rises as PALA is added, until three molecules of PALA are attached per molecule of enzyme. This maximum velocity is 17 times higher than it would be without PALA. With the addition of three additional molecules of PALA per molecule of enzyme, the reaction rate drops to practically nil. Why does PALA activate ATCase at such low concentrations?
- The enzyme mutase which is important for the synthetic of tyrosine and phenylalanine in saccharomyces cerevisiae has been studied as an example of an allosteric enzyme. Tyrosine acts as a negative effector for this enzyme. What effects would you see on the action of the enzyme were you to increase the concentration of tyrosine? The chorismate mutase would shift to its R conformation The curve showing the kinetics or chorismate mutase would shift to the right The curve showing the kinetics of chorismate mutase would shift to the left The chorismate mutase would become saturated more rapidlyHow is cigarette smoking related to elastase function? Methionine sulfoxide is formed by cigarette smoke in the antitrypsin protein, which leads to the full manifestation of the disease in individuals heterozygous for emphysema. Oxidation of methionine 358 by cigarette smoke of the elastase inhibitor active site leads to an increased inhibition of elastase and subsequent overaccumulation of mucus in the lungs. The inhibitor of elastase is axidized by cigarette smoke so elastase doesn't function properly in healthy individuals. Cigarette smoke modifies the elastase methionine residues such that the enzyme activity is blocked.Phosphoglycerate kinase shows induced fit resulting from the binding of both substrates to form the closed catalytic conformation. Maintainence of the closed conformation depends on the formation of a salt bridge between R62 and D200. What would be the effect of the mutation of D200 to the unusual amino acid shown below? Explain.
- In most enzymes, the required active site amino acids consists of only a few residues. Why is the rest of the protein necessary for full enzyme function? To bind to the membrane through hydrophobic residues. To interact with other proteins so that the enzyme can be imported into the endoplasmic reticulum where enzymes are the most active. To provide the correct tertiary structure for the substrate binding site and for proper orientation of the catalytic residues. To provide protein targeting sequences so that the enzyme can be transported to the mitochondrial matrix where gluconeogenesis takes place.An allosteric enzyme that follows the concerted mechanism has a T/R ratio of 500 in the absence of substrate. Suppose that a mutation reversed the ratio. How would this mutation affect the relation between the rate of the reaction and substrate concentration? The mutant enzyme would behave like an enzyme that obeys Michaelis Menton kinetics. The mutant enzyme would have a smaller vmax There would be no difference in the mutant enzyme in terms of substrate binding and catalysis. More than one answer is correct. The mutant enzyme would display cooperativity more than the wild type. MacBook Air 888 F5 F4 F3 F2 %23 2$ %ATP is both an inhibitor and substrate of adenyl cyclase. As a substrate, the enzyme converts ATP to cyclic AMP only when the energy sources of cells are low. cAMP mediates the synthesis of a kinase that adds a phosphate to glycogen synthase and phosphorylase. The Km value of the active site is 3.5 x 10-5M while the Km for the allosteric site is 1.7 x 10-3M. What is the implication of the difference in Km value of the active and allosteric site in terms of the utilization of the stored sources of energy of cells? Explain.
