- Neuraminidase (NA) catalyzes a hydrolysis of the glycosidic linkages of sialic acids using a mechanism shown in Fig. (a). and Fig. (b) shows competitive inhibitors of NA Considering the mechanism of NA, why do zanamivir and oseltamivir inhibit NA so potently?What is the evidence that aspartate transcarbamoylase (ATCase) effects catalysis primarily by proximity? In the figure, what is the role of Lys 84' in the active site- interaction that appear to make with the substrate?We learned that three different amino acid transformations of PLP-dependent enzymes canresult from different conformations of the PLP-amino acid imine adduct in the active site.Starting from the PLP adduct of (S)-serine, show mechanisms fora) Decarboxylation of serineb) Racemization of serinec) Conversion of serine to glycine and formaldehyde.
- n a particular enzyme, an alanine residue is located in a cleft where the substrate binds. A mutation that changes this residue to glycine has little effect on activity; however, another mutation, which changes the alanine to a glutamate residue, leads to a complete loss of activity. Provide a brief explanation for these observationJust Arrange. The enzyme serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT) requires pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) as a cofactor. Arrange the steps of the likely mechanism for SHMT‑catalyzed serine degradation (producing glycine and N5,N10‑methylenetetrahydrofolate)The allosterically regulated enzyme ATCase binds aspartic acid as a substrate and acylates the α–amino group. Succinate acts as a competitiveinhibitor of ATCase because it binds the active site but can’t be acylated.The dependence of v0 on [aspartic acid] for ATCase is shown in panel (a)of the accompanying figure. Panel (b) shows the effect of increasing [succinate] on v0 when [Asp] is held at a low concentration (see thick vertical arrow in panel (a)). Note that in panel (b), v0 is not zero when [succinate] = 0 (see thin horizontal arrow). Explain the shape of the curve in panel (b). Why does v0 increase initially, before decreasing at higher [succinate]?
