Iodoacetate reacts irreversibly with the free -SH groups of cysteine residues in proteins. List which Calvin cycle enzyme(s) you would predict to be inhibited by iodoacetate, and briefly explain why
The effect of ATP on the allosteric enzyme PFK-1 is shown below. For a given concentration of fructose 6-phosphate, the PFK-1 activity increases with increasing concentrations of ATP, but a point is reached beyond which increasing the concentration of ATP inhibits the enzyme. (a) Explain how ATP can be both a substrate and an inhibitor of PFK-1. How is the enzyme regulated by ATP? (b) In what ways is glycolysis regulated by ATP levels? (c) The inhibition of PFK-1 by ATP is diminished when the ADP concentration is high, as shown in the illustration. How can this observation be explained? *A graph is included for this question*

When ATP and xylose are added to hexokinase, the enzyme produces a small amount of xylose-5-phosphate along with a large amount of ADP. How does this observation support the induced fit model?
Write a balanced chemical equation for the pentose phosphate pathway in the first two modes depicted as shown, where (a) ribose-5-phosphate synthesis is maximized and (b) NADPH production is maximized, by conversion of the sugar phosphate products to glucose-6-phosphate for repeated operations of the pathway.
Suppose that your Ph.D. mentor asks you to compare the kinetic behavior of the two recently discovered peptidase isozymes PepA and PepB. Your mentor's initial studies identified a pentapeptide substrate called Tide5 that appeared to be able to distinguish the kinetic behaviors of PepA and PepB. All they had time to tell you was this: At low Tide5 concentration, the ?o (initial velocity) of PepA was greater than PepB, but at high Tide5 concentration, the reverse was true. Before you start your kinetic assays, you decide it would be wise to ponder this small bit of information. You have no numbers to work with, but does it tell you something about the relative values of ?m and ?max for PepA and PepB? Select the statements that are consistent with the information that you were given.

Using the ActiveModel for enoyl-CoA dehydratase, give an example of a case in which conserved residues in slightly different positions can change the catalytic rate of reaction.
In several species of bacteria, GAPDH activity is controlled by the NADH/NAD+ ratio. Does the activity of GAPDH increase or decrease when the NADH/NAD+ ratio increases? Explain. Assume that only the forward direction of the reaction is relevant. a) The activity of GAPDH increases when the NADH/NAD+ ratio increases. b) The activity of GAPDH decreases when the NADH/NAD+ ratio increases.
There is an enzyme that catalyzes the production of the pigment responsible for dark fur color in Siamese cats and Himalayan rabbits. This enzyme is thermolabile, meaning that it does not function at higher temperatures. Rabbits raised at 5°C are all black. If raised at 20°C, they are white with black paws, ears, and noses; they are all white when raised at 35°C. Draw an activity curve for this enzyme, and explain.
Based on the definition of kcat, substitute a value that can be measured and yet still represents the value associated with the original concentration of the R. What would the rate or velocity of the reaction be equal to under these circumstances? How can cells increase Vmax? What variable that we could change would directly impact Vmax? Would the value of KM be affected by the ways you determined that Vma,x could be increased? What does this indicate about KM? Thinking about how catalysts work, about the Michaelis-Menten Equation, and the definition of kcat, what specifically does the enzyme change in the reaction mechanism to increase the rate? If an enzyme follows the 2 step mechanism proposed by Michaelis-Menten, what do you know about this enzyme? Be very specific and comprehensive. Please answer very soon will give rating surely
