Chorismate mutase is an enzyme that promotes a pericyclic reaction by forcing the substrate to assume the conformation needed for the reaction. The product of the pericyclic reaction is prephenate that is subsequently converted into the amino acids phenylalanine and tyrosine. What kind of a pericyclic reaction does chorismate mutase catalyze?
Esterase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of esters. It hydrolyzes esters of L-amino acids more rapidly than esters of d-amino acids. How can this enzyme be used to separate a racemic mixture of amino acids?
The anti-obesity drug orlistat works by irreversibly inhibiting pancreatic lipase, an enzyme responsible for the hydrolysis of triacylglycerols in the intestines, so they are excreted without metabolism. Inhibition occurs by reaction of orlistat with a serine residue of the enzyme, forming a covalently bound, inactive enzyme product. Draw the structure of the product formed during inhibition.

Tetrapeptide A is completely hydrolysed under acidic conditions to yield alanine, aspartic acid, isoleucine and valine. On neutralisation of the hydrolysate, an odour of ammonia is detected. The reaction of the tetrapeptide with phenylisothiocyanate, followed by mild hydrolysis yields no phenylthiohydantoin derivative. Incubation of A with carboxypeptidase A has no effect either.

Glutathione (GSH) is a tripeptide that serves as a mild reducing agent to detoxify peroxides and maintain the cysteineresidues of hemoglobin and other red blood cell proteins in the reduced state. Complete hydrolysis of glutathione givesGly, Glu, and Cys. Treatment of glutathione with carboxypeptidase gives glycine as the first free amino acid released.Treatment of glutathione with 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene (Sanger reagent, Problem 24-21, page 1246), followed bycomplete hydrolysis, gives the 2,4-dinitrophenyl derivative of glutamic acid. Treatment of glutathione with phenylisothiocyanate does not give a recognizable phenylthiohydantoin, however.(a) Propose a structure for glutathione consistent with this information. Why would glutathione fail to give a normalproduct from Edman degradation, even though it gives a normal product from the Sanger reagent followed byhydrolysis?(b) Oxidation of glutathione forms glutathione disulfide (GSSG).
