(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The enzyme that converts ATP to cAMP.

Introduction: Enzymes are catalysts which speed up a reaction process by lowering the activation energy of the reactants. They perform the role of aiding in digestion, metabolism, and breaking large molecules into simpler molecules for better absorption.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The enzyme activated by cAMP.

Introduction: The enzyme adenylyl cyclase is involved in the conversion of ATP into cAMP. ATP stands for “adenosine triphosphate” while cAMP stands for “cyclic adenosine monophosphate.” Some enzymes and proteins need cAMP for their activity.

The respiratory symptoms of asthma result from constriction of the bronchi and bronchioles of the lungs, caused by contraction of the smooth muscle of their walls. This constriction can be reversed by raising [cAMP] in the smooth muscle. Explain the therapeutic effects of albuterol, a β-adrenergic agonisttaken (by inhalation) for asthma. Would you expect this drug to have any side effects? If so, how might one design a better drug that does not have these effects?
What is the physiological basis of the phenomenon called "shifting of physiological zero?"
