disease. As such, a frontline treatment for Type 2 diabetes is the drug metformin, which acts indirectly
to inhibit gluconeogenesis in the liver. You are a research biochemist who would like to develop new
drugs that act to directly inhibit gluconeogenesis. You have just gained access to a library of thousands
of small molecules of unknown activity, and you would like to identify lead compounds that have specific
inhibitory activity against steps in the gluconeogenesis pathway.
(a)
into PEP in order to screen for inhibitors of enzymes specific to gluconeogenesis. Which enzymes do
you need to purify, what cofactors and allosteric effectors do they require, and which reactants do you
need to add to reconstitute the reactions for the first bypass? Which intermediates and products are
generated?
Your first approach is to reconstitute the initial set of bypass reactions that convert pyruvate
