Chapter 15, Problem 8P
Interpretation Introduction
(a)
Interpretation :
The relative glycogen phosphorylase activity when neither AMP nor ATP is present should be estimated from figure 15.15.
Introduction:
Glycogen phosphorylase is an enzyme which catalyzes the rate limiting step in glucogenolysis. It converts glycogen in animals into glucose-1-phosphate. ATP and glucose-6-phosphate act as allosteric inhibitors for glycogen phosphorylase because they reduce the affinity of glycogen phosphorylase for its substrate, inorganic phosphate. ATP is the end product of the glycogen phosphorylase enzyme. And glucose-1-phosphate released is readily converted into glucose-6-phosphate and participate in ATP production pathways. AMP acts as an allosteric activator for glycogen phosphorylase.
Interpretation Introduction
(b)
Interpretation:
The relative glycogen phosphorylase activity when AMP is present should be estimated from the figure 15.15.

Using Site-Direcled Muta.nts to Understand an Enzyme Mechanism In this chapter, the exponent in which Craik and Rutter replaced Asp102 with Asn in trypsin (reducing activity 10,000 -fold) was discussed. On the basis of your knowledge of the catalytic triad structure in trypsin, suggest a structure for the “uncatalytic triad of Asn-His-Ser in this mutant enzyme. Explain why the structure you have proposed explains the reduced activity of the mutant trypsin. See the original journal articles (Sprang, et al., 1987. Science 237:905-913) to Craik, et al., 1987.

Assessing the-Metabolic Consequences of Life Without Enzymes The incredible catalytic power of enzymes can perhaps best be appreciated by imagining how challenging life would be without just one of the thousands of enzymes in the human body. For example, consider life without fnnctose-1,6-btsphosphatase, an enzyme in the gluconeogenesis pathway in Liver and kidneys (see Chapter 22). which helps product new glucose from the food we eat: Fructose-1.6-blsphosphate + H2O Fmrlose-6-P + Pi The human brain requires glucose as its only energy source, and the typical brain consumes about 120 g (or 480 kilocalories) of glucose dally. Ordinarily, two pieces of sausage pizza could provide more than enough potential glucose to feed the brain for a day. According to a national fast-food chain, two pieces of sausage pizza provide 1340 kilocalories. 48% of which is from fat. Fats cannot be converted to glucose in gluconeogenesis, so that leaves 697 kilocalories potentially available for glucose synthesis. The first-order rate constant for the hydrolysis of fructose-l.6-bispliosphate in the absence of enzyme is 2 10-20 /sec. Calculate how long it would take to provide enough glucose for one day of brain activity from two pieces of sausage pizza without the enzyme.

Problems 12 through IS refer to these graphs.arrow_forwardAnswers to all problems are at the end οΓthis book. Detailed solutions are available in the Student Solutions Manual.
