Carboxylic acids, such as the one shown below, can be difficult to reduce Provide the name of a reductant A. Explain why this reductant is able to react with the carboxylic acid whereas others cannot (Hint: Draw and discuss the potential reactive intermediates/transition states).
Ethylene glycol (HO−CH2−CH2−OH) is a major component of antifreeze. In the body, it is first converted to HOOC−CHO (oxoethanoic acid) and then to HOOC−COOH (oxalic acid), which is toxic. What class of enzyme catalyzes both of the reactions of ethylene glycol? The treatment for the ingestion of ethylene glycol is an intravenous solution of ethanol. How might this help prevent toxic levels of oxalic acid in the body?

Hb Zanzibar has an AspG1(94)α to Glu mutation. Which of the following statements is TRUE? a) It has a low affinity for O2 because a hydrogen bond in the T state is broken. b) It has a low affinity for O2 because a hydrogen bond in the R state is broken. c) The mutant has a lower affinity for O2 due to the loss of a hydrogen bond present in the T state. d) The Bohr effect is diminished due to the loss of the primary binding site of the Bohr proton. e) Cooperativity in the mutant is increased because the mutation occurs in the switch region.
. Separating Glycated Hb From Normal Hb (Integrates with Chapters 5and 6.) Human hemoglobin can react with sugars in the blood(usually glucose) to form covalent adducts. The a-amino groups ofN-terminal valine in the Hb b-subunits react with the C-1 (aldehyde)carbons of monosaccharides to form aldimine adducts, whichrearrange to form very stable ketoamine products. Quantitation ofthis “glycated hemoglobin” is important clinically, especially fordiabetic individuals. Suggest at least three methods by which glycatedHb (also referred to as HbA1c) could be separated from normal Hband quantitated
A research group discovers a new version of happyase, which they call happyase*, that catalyzes the chemical reaction The researchers begin to characterize the enzyme. (a) In the first experiment, with [Et] at 4 nM, they find that the Vmax is 1.6 uM/s. Based on this experiment, what is the kcat for happyase*? (Include appropriate units.) (b) In another experiment, with [Et] at 1 nM and [HAPPY] at 30 uM, the researchers find that V0 = 300 nM/s. What is the measured Km of happyase* for its substrate HAPPY? (Include appropriate units.) (c) Further research shows that the purified happyase* used in the first two experiments was actually contaminated with a reversible inhibitor called ANGER. When ANGER is carefully removed from the happyase* preparation and the two experiments repeated, the measured Vmax in (a) is increased to 4.8 uM/s, and the measured Km in (b) is now 15 uM. Based on this information, can you figure out what type of inhibitor is ANGER? (Use table 6.9 at the end of the…
A histidine was determined to be the critical residue involved in an enzyme-catalyzed reaction. If the pKa of the histidine is known to be 6.5 in the active site and the pH of maximum catalytic activity is 7.2, what is likely the primary role of histidine in the catalytic reaction? A. forms a covalent bond with the substrate B. reduces the entropy of the substrate C. stabilizes a charged intermediate D. acts as a proton donor Aspartate and lysine are in the active site of an enzyme. They are both known to participate directly in catalysis. The pKa's of the residues are found to be 3.2 and 9.6, respectively for aspartate and lysine. The optimum pH for the enzyme is 6.4. Which forms of these two residues will predominate when the enzyme is most active? A. aspartate is protonated; lysine is deprotonated B. both residues are deprotonated C. aspartate is deprotonated; lysine is protonated D. both residues are protonated
Which statements are true? Explain why or why not.1 A 10–8 M solution of HCl has a pH of 8.2 Most of the interactions between macromoleculescould be mediated just as well by covalent bonds as bynoncovalent bonds.3 Animals and plants use oxidation to extract energyfrom food molecules.4 If an oxidation occurs in a reaction, it must beaccompanied by a reduction.5 Linking the energetically unfavorable reaction A→ B to a second, favorable reaction B → C will shift theequilibrium constant for the first reaction.6 The criterion for whether a reaction proceedsspontaneously is ΔG not ΔG°, because ΔG takes intoaccount the concentrations of the substrates and products.7 The oxygen consumed during the oxidation of glu-cose in animal cells is returned as CO2 to the atmosphere.
Though activation energy is just a mathematical term, what is this Term actually describing? In other words, what is happening at the molecular level when the activation energy for a given reaction is reached? Can u help me but keep it short and simple.
Analysis of the Temperature-Dependent Term of the rate of reaction Provide at least 3 chemical equations with a given activation energy and frequency factor. (endothermic reactions, exothermic reactions, reactions with high and low Eact , reactions with catalyst) provide equation problems only. no need to solve it.
1. Acid phosphatases are an important group of enzymes that can be detected in human bloodserum. Under slightly acidic conditions (pH 5.0), this group of enzymes can hydrolyzebiological phosphate esters as follows:R-O-P-O3-2 + H 2O R-OH + HO-P-O3-2.Acid phosphatases are produced and can be detected in erythrocytes, kidney, spleen, the liver,and prostrate gland. The enzyme from the prostrate gland is clinically important because anincreased activity in the blood is frequently an indication of cancer of the prostrate gland.Tartrate ion can strongly inhibit the phosphatase from the prostrate gland, but not acidphosphatases from other tissues. How can you use the information above to develop a specificprocedure for measuring the activity of the acid phosphatase of the prostrate gland in humanblood serum?
Enalapril is an anti-hypertension “pro-drug” (i.e., a drug precursor) that isinactive until the ethyl ester (arrow in figure) is hydrolyzed by esterases present in blood plasma. The active drug is the dicarboxylic acid (“enalaprilat”) that results from this hydrolysis reaction.(a) Enalapril is administered in pill form, but enalaprilat must be administered intravenously. Why do you suppose enalapril works as a pill but enalaprilat does not? (b) Enalaprilat is a competitive inhibitor of the angiotensin-convertingenzyme (ACE), which cleaves the blood-pressure regulating peptideangiotensin I. ACE has a KM = 52 μM for angiotensin I, which is presentin plasma at a concentration of 75 μM. When enalaprilat is presentat 2.4 nM, the activity of ACE in plasma is 10% of its uninhibitedactivity. What is the value of K1 for enalaprilat?
