Glutamine-PRPP amidotransferase will not be fully inhibited 2. AMP will be a feedback inhibitor of the condensation of IMP with aspartate 3. ATP will stimulate the production of GMP from IMP 4. ATP will inhibit nucleoside diphosphate reductase.

- BIOMOLECULES - MULTIPLE CHOICE - Please answer properly QUESTION : In patients with Lesch Nyhan Syndrome, purine nucleotides are overproduced and over excreted. The hypoxanthine analogue Allopurinol, which effectively treats gout , has no effect on the severe neurological symptoms of Lesch- Nyhan patients because it does not? A. decrease de novo pyrimidine synthesis B. decrease de novo purine synthesis C. decrease urate synthesis D. increase PRPP levels (Phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate)arrow_forwardModified TRUE or FALSE. Write the word TRUE if the statement is correct. If the statement is false, write the incorrect underlined word/s and indicate the correct word/s to make the statement true. Catabolic pathways synthesize complex end products from simple substrates and require energy use.arrow_forwardModified TRUE or FALSE. Write the word TRUE if the statement is correct. If the statement is false, write the incorrect underlined word/s and indicate the correct word/s to make the statement true. The Michaelis-Menten Constant (Km) of an enzyme is equal to the enzyme concentration at which the initial velocity of the reaction is one half of maximum velocity (Vmax).arrow_forward
- kcat = ? an enzyme has an aspartic acid in the active site with a pKa = 4.0 and the kcat for this enzyme is directly proportional to the fraction of this side chain that is ionized. If the kcat at pH = 4.0 is 52.9x103 s-1 what is the kcat for this enzymes at pH 3.5arrow_forwardModified TRUE or FALSE. Write the word TRUE if the statement is correct. If the statement is false, write the incorrect underlined word/s and indicate the correct word/s to make the statement true. The reaction involving the substrate bound to the active site of an enzyme is made more favorable by increasing the activation energy of the reaction.arrow_forwardLysozyme’s use of aspartic acid and glutamic acid, to break the glycosidic bonds of the eubacterial cell wall (composed of peptidoglycan), illustrates the common enzymatic pattern of: hydrolysis (catabolic), using nonpolar amino acids at the active site hydrolysis (catabolic), using polar amino acids at the active site condensation (anabolic), using nonpolar amino acids at the active site condensation (anabolic), using polar amino acids at the active site all of the abovearrow_forward

In human beings, what is the major control of de novo pyrimidine nucleotide synthesis? A. substrate availability B. feedback inhibition of glutamine-PRPP amidotransferase C. competitive inhibition of carbamoyl phosphate synthetase II D. availability of N-acetyl glutamate 2. In patients with Lesch Nyhan Syndrome, purine nucleotides are overproduced and over excreted. The hypoxanthine analogue Allopurinol, which effectively treats gout , has no effect on the severe neurological symptoms of Lesch- Nyhan patients because it does not?
