Question
Chapter 19, Problem 19.26UKC
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Whether it is likely to use D-lactate as a substrate for the enzyme reaction given in problem 19.25 has to be explained and if D-lactate binds to the enzyme, how does it affects the enzyme has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Enzyme:
- It is a protein or a molecule which can act as a catalyst for a biological reaction.
- Does not affect the equilibrium point of the reaction.
- Active site of the enzyme is the region where the reaction takes place.
- Enzyme’s activity can be specific which means the activity is limited to a certain substrate and a certain type of reaction and it is referred to as specificity of the enzyme.

Beginning with the 1st tetrahedral intermediate, show the complete steps in chymotrypsin mechanism that occurs to form the 2nd chymotrypsin intermediate in the chymotrypsin active site. The substrate for chymotrypsin to be used is Ala-Tyr-Gly.
Further, name the amino acid(s) that would be released as a result of the reactions you'd illustrated above.
UDP-glucuronosyltransferase enzymes bind the organic compound UDP-glucuronic acid (UDP-GA) in order to catalyse the transfer of a glucuronic acid group from UDP-GA to a drug molecule, releasing UDP from the active site as a product. UDP is then regenerated by the activity of another enzyme.
What terms could be used to describe UDP-GA?
You have discovered a new enzyme that has a nearly identical active site to chymotrypsin.
This new enzyme uses the same catalytic triad and the same reaction mechanism as
chymotrypsin. Your new enzyme differs from chymotrypsin because it cuts peptides at the C
terminus of polar, non-ionizable R groups.
a) Beginning with the first tetrahedral intermediate, draw the mechanism of catalysis that
occurs to cleave the tripeptide Asn-Phe-Lys substrate ending your answer with product
and free enzyme.
b) From the list below, which of the components would most likely be found in the area of
the enzyme that substitutes the hydrophobic pocket of chymotrypsin? Very briefly
explain your choice(s).,
Ser
lle
Zn
Val
c) You've constructed a molecule that is able to bind to the 1 tetrahedral intermediate of
your new.enzyme, preventing catalysis. From experimental results, you can see that this
molecule is only able to bind to the tetrahedral intermediate. Assuming that this enzyme
follows…

- An enzyme has a single active site at which it can bind and hydrolyze either X or Y; however, the enzyme cannot bind X and Y at the same time. Answer the following questions regarding the Km and Vmax of this enzyme. (a) Will the Km for X be affected if Y is present in the reaction mixture? Explain.

Residues Asp 101 and Arg 114 are required for efficient catalysis, although they are located at some distance from the active site Glu 35 and Asp 52.
