- Several names are compatible with standard nomenclature for the enzyme that catalyzes the reaction shown in the figure. However, the assigned name is based specifically based on its substrate and its coenzyme. What is that name?arrow_forwardIn the reaction catalyzed by malate dehydrogenase, what molecules are classified as the reduced donor?arrow_forwardThe effect of ATP on the allosteric enzyme PFK-1 is shown below. For a given concentration of fructose 6-phosphate, the PFK-1 activity increases with increasing concentrations of ATP, but a point is reached beyond which increasing the concentration of ATP inhibits the enzyme. (a) Explain how ATP can be both a substrate and an inhibitor of PFK-1. How is the enzyme regulated by ATP? (b) In what ways is glycolysis regulated by ATP levels? (c) The inhibition of PFK-1 by ATP is diminished when the ADP concentration is high, as shown in the illustration. How can this observation be explained? *A graph is included for this question*arrow_forward
- Human beings contain two different carbamoyl phosphate synthetase enzymes. One uses glutamine as a substrate, whereas the other uses ammonia. What are the functions of these two enzymes?arrow_forwardVon Gierke’s disease is also known as glycogen storage disease type I. Patients with von Gierke’s disease lackglucose 6-phosphatase activity. Two prominent symptoms of this disorder are fasting hypoglycemia and lactic acidosis (elevated lactate levels in the blood), especially during strenuous exercise. Explain why these symptoms occur. What chemical reaction does this enzyme catalyze? Which pathways involve this enzyme? Lacking thisthe enzyme will cause impairment of which pathways?• Pls consider what pathways are affected by Von Gierke’s disease. Include in your explanation involving Cori’s cycle. can you please do not write by your hand?

- Hemp oil contains eicosenoic acid (20:149) as its primary monounsaturated fatty acid. Let's consider the conversion of a molecule of eicosenoic acid to ẞ-hydroxybutyrate. What are the ẞ-oxidation products and how many ATP are required during activation for one molecule of lignoceric acid? Given the following, how many molecules of 8-hydroxybutyrate can be produced? 2 CoA CoA NADH NAD+ H+ OH B-hydroxybutyrate Based on the total NADH and FADH2 available after converting lignoceric acid into 8-hydroxybutyrate, what is the typical yield of ATP that can be produced in the liver? Don't forget to include any ATP required for activation steps.arrow_forwardThe brown discoloration of apples and potatoes is due to an enzyme catalyzed chemical reaction. What is the enzyme that catalyzes this reaction? What is the substrate(s) of this reaction? What is the product(s) of this reaction? Does this reaction require a cofactor, if so which one?arrow_forwardIn Bacillus subtilis, threonine is metabolized by the following sequence of reactions: (a) oxidation; (b) decarboxylation;(c) transamination; and (d) oxidation to produce pyruvate. Outline this sequence of steps, show the structures of thesubstances, use abbreviations for the cofactors, and show any enzyme-bound coenzymes. What type of enzyme bound intermediate is likely for reaction (d)?arrow_forward
- There is another class of aldolase enzymes known as Class II. These enzymes are found in fungi, algae, and some bacteria. This class differs for Class I in that these enzymes do not have a Lys residue associated with their active sites, but contain a divalent cation (usually Zn2+ or Fe2+) in the active site. Outline a possible mechanism for a Class II aldolase and explain the function of the metal ion in the reaction.arrow_forwardWhat enzyme is catalyzed by the reaction of glutamate and NH4+ in order to yield glutamine? Is it uridylyltransferase, adenylyl transferase, glutamate transferase or glutamine synthase?arrow_forwardBeginning 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.arrow_forward
