5. Based on your understanding of allosteric regulation and using terminology related to the allosteric (MWC) model, explain how the enzyme glycogen phosphorylase is affected by the binding of AMP and what affect this binding would have on the overall activity of the enzyme. Predict what would happen to the activity of the enzyme when glycogen phosphorylase is covalently modified and there are high levels of ATP in the cell.

1. Consider the three-dimensional model of the tertiary structure of an enzyme below. Amino acids involved in binding are shaded blue, and amino acids involved in catalysis are shaded red. A. Suppose research has shown that amino acid 82 in the red shaded region is lysine, an amino acid with a positively-charged side chain. This lysine is critical for catalysis. Other studies have found that amino acids 12 and 62 in the blue region are both phenylalanine, an amino acid with a nonpolar side chain, and are critical for substrate binding. These amino acids are relatively close in the active site but are separated by 20-70 amino acids in the primary structure. Using what you know about protein structure, explain how amino acids separated in the primary structure can come close together in the active site. B. Use this information and figure 4.2 in your book to answer the following questions: Do you think changing amino acid 82, lysine, an amino acid with a positively-charged side…
