A certain enzyme, which is only found in unicorns, catalyzes the synthesis of a growth regulator that affects the properties of unicorn horns. The activity of this enzyme is dependent on the protonation state of two ionizable groups that are present in the active site: the enzyme's N-terminal amino group and an aspartate residue. Based on biochemical studies, the role of aspartate (pk4) appears to be to stabilize a positive charge of a key reaction intermediate, while the N-terminal amino group (pk, = 6.4) acts as a general acid. The active site is located in a hydrophobic pocket. %3D Construct a semi-quantitative graph (x-axis = pH and y-axis = % activity) in which you plot how the activity of this enzyme varies with pH. [HINT: Be sure to clearly plot several well-chosen points on your graph so the form of the graph is reasonable. Minimally, you must plot points for when each ionizable group is 10%, 50% and 90% ionized. Each of these points can be readily determined from the Henderson-Hasselbach equation.) %3D %3D

Cattle in industrial dairy farms are typically given rBST, or recombinant bovine somatotropin. This animal hormone increases a cow's milk production, but there is concern that such hormones may have unforeseen effects on milk-drinking humans. There is no similar concern about plant hormones in the plant foods we eat. Why not?
5) Consider the hypothetical biochemical pathway shown below. Assume that each letter (A, B, C, etc) represents a molecule and each number over an arrow (1, 2, 3, etc) represents an enzyme that catalyzes that reaction (so enzyme 2 catalyzes the conversion of B to C). Indicate all the probable feedback inhibition interactions that would be expected to regulate the activity of enzymes in this pathway. please indicate each interaction in the format example: "X will inhibit enzyme 27".
