Describe the chemistry of each step • How the enzyme appears or might facilitate the chemistry How the enzyme increases the reaction rate.Many years later, in 1989, Wild, et al. revisited the idea of allosteric control of ATCase by CTP. They noted that CTP did indeed inhibit ATCase, but that the inhibition was always incomplete, even at high concentrations of CTP. They hypothesized that perhaps CTP did not act alone, but in combination with some other nucleotide. They tested the activity of ATCase in the presence of several nucleotide combinations. The results are shown in Table 3. a. What combination gives the most effective inhibition? b. What is the physiological significance of this combination? c. Revise Figure 1 to include this new information. d. Redraw Figure 2 to include this new information. How does the combination compare with the values for the nucleotides alone?

The metal ion (Mg2+) is serving as a general base, removing a proton in order to improve the quality of the nucleophile. The metal ion (Mg2+) is assisting in the oxidation of the carboxyl carbon through metal ion catalysis. The metal ion (Mg2+) is helping to orient the substrate properly in the active site. The metal ion (Mg2+) is accepting a proton in order to improve the quality of the leaving group.
