Question
Chapter 21, Problem 11P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The allosteric regulation of phosphorylase in liver and in musclewith the significance of the difference should to be proven and determined.
Concept introduction:
The glycogen phosphorylase is regulated allosterically by glucose-6-phosphate, AMP and ATP. ATP depletion results in glucose release while in abundancy of glucose, glucose-6-phosphate will be high. This signal in the replenishment of glycogen.

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
(b)
vitro reconstitution?
What additional steps and enzymes are required in liver cells but are…
Draw Gluconeogenesis. Please make sure to state all the enzymes and co-factors for each step of the pathway.
The Cori Cycle. Before vigorous exercise (at rest) the level of blood lactate is at its normal level (about 25 mM). During a 400 m sprint, the value rises sharply in less than a few minutes to about 200 mM and then declines slowly to around 40 mM over 60 mins after the sprint.
a. Discuss (or illustrate) the pathway and reactions that cause the rapid increase in lactate concentration during the sprint.
b. What causes the slow decline in lactate concentration after the sprint? Why does the decrease occur more slowly than the rapid increase?
c. What enzymatic reaction is responsible for maintaining the lactate concentration above zero at recovery after the sprint?

Dinitrophenol binds to and inhibits ATP synthase conformational changes, thus inhibiting ATP synthesis. The Fo portion of ATP synthase acts as a rotary motor.arrow_forward
