Classify ther following enzyme ? Lactase
In this section of the course, you have come across two drugs which inhibit dihydrofolate reductase. One of thes drugs is used as an antibacterial drug and the other is used in treatment of cancer. Why is it that each of these drugs can only be used for one purpose (and not the other) in clinical medicine.
True or False The enzyme sucrase catalyzes the metabolisim of sucrose.
The enzyme d-amino acid oxidase has avery high turnover number because the d-amino acids are potentially toxic. The KM for the enzyme is in the range of 1 to2 mM for the aromatic amino acids and in the range of 15 to20 mM for such amino acids as serine, alanine, and the acidicamino acids. Which of these amino acids are the preferred substrates for the enzyme?
Lactate dehydrogenase catalyzes the following equilibrium reaction in both liver and muscle cells: pyruvate+NADH+H+lactate+NAD+ In terms of equilibrium, explain why lactate must be removed from muscle cells under anaerobic conditions and why lactate does not accumulate in the liver under these conditions. Hint: Think of the Cori cycle.
Most human enzymes function best in the temperature range of: a. 0C10C b. 10C25C c. 25C40C d. 40C55C
As you increase the temperature of an enzyme-catalyzedreaction, the rate of the reaction initially increases. It thenreaches a maximum rate and finally dramatically declines.Keeping in mind that enzymes are proteins, how do youexplain these changes in reaction rate?
What class of enzymes to these two belong to?
Neostigmine is an inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase. The enzyme attempts to catalyse the same reaction on neostigmine as it does with acetylcholine. However, a stable intermediate is formed which prevents completion of the process and which results in a molecule being covalently linked to the active site. Identify (draw) the stable intermediate and explain why it is stable.
True or false: When the temperature of an exothermicreaction increases, the rate constant of the forward reactiondecreases, which leads to a decrease in the equilibriumconstant, Kc.
What is the function of the enzyme lactase?
Human xanthine oxidase catalyzes the oxidation of hypoxanthine to xanthine and can further catalyze the oxidation of xanthine to uric acid. For the treatment of hyperuricemia and gout, several medications are used to inhibit the activity of xanthine oxidase and reduce the production of uric acid. You are a biochemist and just discovered a chemical that can inhibit the activity of the human xanthine oxidase. When analyzing its mode of inhibition, you found that the enzyme inhibitor complex requires 450 J.mol-1 to dissociate and that it displays kinetics somehow similar to noncompetitive inhibition. You sent your inhibitor to the ministry of health for approval as a medication for gout. Based on the data provided, are they going to authorize it as a medication or not? Explain?
