QUESTION 2 An isocitrate dehydrogenase assay was performed on the enzyme sample and found to give an absorbance change at 340nm of 0.5 absorbance units per minute. Given that the molar absorption coefficient (E) is 6220 M-1 cm-1 and the pathlength is 1cm, what is the rate of the enzyme catalysed reaction in umol per minute per mL?

Question: Fumerase is an enzyme in the citric acid cycle that catalyzes the conversion of fumerate to L-malate. Given the fumerate (substrate) concentrations and initial velocities below, construct a Lineweaver-Burk plot and determine Vmax and Km values for the fumerase catalyzed reaction. Fumerate (mM) Rate (mmol l-1 min-1) 2.0 2.5 3.3 3.1 5.0 3.6 10.0 4.2 Fumerase has a molecular weight of 194,000 and is composed of four identical subunits, each with an active site. If the enzyme concentration is 1 x 10-8 M for the experiment in part (a), calculate kcat value for the reaction of fumerase with fumerate. Note: units for kcat are reciprocal seconds (s-1).
Question: A. To explore the consequences of coupling ATP hydrolysis under physiological conditions to a thermodynamically unfavorable biochemical reaction, consider the hypothetical transformation X⟶Y, for which Δ?′°=20.0 kJ/mol. What is the ratio of [Y]/[X][Y]/[X] at equilibrium? B. Suppose XX and YY participate in a sequence of reactions during which ATP is hydrolyzed to ADP and Pi. The overall reaction is X+ATP+H2O⟶Y+ADP+Pi Calculate [Y]/[X] for this reaction at equilibrium. Assume that the temperature is 25.0 °C and the equilibrium concentrations of ATP, ADP, and Pi are 1.00 M each. C. We know that [ATP], [ADP], and [Pi] are not 1.00 M under physiological conditions. Calculate [Y]/[X] for the ATP‑coupled reaction when the values of [ATP], [ADP], and [Pi] are those found in rat myocytes. Metabolite Concentration in rat myocytes (M) ATP 8.05x10-3 ADP 0.93x10-3 Pi 8.05x10-3
Question:- ATP is an important source of energy for muscle contraction. Pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphate phosphatase is activated by calcium, which increases greatly in concentration during exercise. Why is activation of the phosphatase consistent with the metabolic requirements of muscle during contraction?
QUESTION 22 When the final product of a series of enzymatically-catalyzed reactions binds to the first enzyme in the pathway to limit its production, it generally uses ___ because the structure of this final product is generally not similar to that of any of the enzyme's normal substrates.

Question:- The enzyme aromatase is found in the cytoplasm of some cells and converts testosterone to estrogen. You decide to test aromatase from a particular cell, and oops, your lab partner admits he drastically increased the pH in all the test tubes. Which of the following is a likely result? a. The enzyme will be denatured and the substrate will not bind to the active site. b. The enzyme will convert testosterone to estrogen at a faster rate. c. The mistake will have no effect on the experiment, because enzymes are not sensitive to pH. d. The free energy will be lowered and the reaction will not proceed spontaneously.

Question 1: The standard reduction potential for the the cytochrome c Fe3+/Fe2+ redox couple and for the dioxygen/water redox couple. Part a: Use these values, and the relevant equation, to compute the standard free energy change for the transfer of 4 electrons from cytochrome c to dioxygen. Part b: Next, compute the free energy needed to pump four protons across the mitochondrial membrane, using the relevant equation and values of -.14V for Δψ and 1.4 for ΔpH. Part c: If energy conservation by cytochrome c oxidase involved only the four pumped protons (and standard conditions applied), what would be the efficiency of energy conservation at this step? (what is the ratio [energy conserved in the gradient] / [redox energy used] ?)
Question 1: When the CAC is run in reverse by microorganisms that use it to fix carbon, the citrate synthase reaction is different and is catalyzed by an enzyme called ATP-citrate lyase. Write the reaction catalyzed by ATP-citrate lyase, then briefly (in one sentence) explain why the use of different chemistry (different from the ‘normal’ direction) makes sense here.
