Describe the products of the transketolase reaction when the substrates are a five-carbon aldose and a six-carbon ketose. Does it matter which of the substrates binds to the enzyme first?
The clinical symptoms of two forms of galactosemia—deficiency of galactokinase or of UDPglucose: galactose 1-phosphate uridylyltransferase—show radically different severity. Although both types produce gastric discomfort after milk ingestion, deficiency of the transferase also leads to liver, kidney, spleen, and brain dysfunction and eventual death. What products accumulate in the blood and tissues with each type of enzyme deficiency? Estimate the relative toxicities of these products from the above information.
In what way is the observed mode of action of hexokinase consistent with the induced-fit theory of enzyme action?
Refer to Figure, which indicates ∆G for each glycolytic reaction under intracellular conditions. Assume that glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase was inhibited with iodoacetate, which reacts with its active site cysteine sulfhydryl group. Which glycolytic intermediate would you expect to accumulate most rapidly, and why?
