Chapter 21, Problem 42P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The results obtained with the mutant should be explained.

Concept introduction:

Glycogen phosphorylase catalyzes the cleavage of the terminal alpha-1,4-glycosidic bond of glycogen polymer releasing glucose-1-phosphate. The most important regulatory site in glycogen phosphorylase is Serine 14 residue. Phosphorylation of this ser-14 residue activate phosphorylase b form to phosphorylase a form.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The effect of substituting aspartic acid for serine should be predicted.

1G. Please help me in detail. For Molecular Mechanism of ATP versus GTP selectivity of adenylate kinase, Write an expression for the reaction velocity.
Select all that apply. What is true about the conformational aspects of coupling? O The proton gradient is involved in the release of bound ATP from the synthase as a result of conformational change. O The conformational states interconvert as a result of proton flux through the synthase. There are two sites for substrate on the synthase and two possible conformational states: open (0) and tight-binding (T). Dinitrophenol binds to and inhibits ATP synthase conformational changes, thus inhibiting ATP synthesis. The Fo portion of ATP synthase acts as a rotary motor.
Crohn’s disease. Omega-3 fatty acids have been tested asa means to prevent relapse of Crohn’s disease. Two large,randomized, placebo-controlled studies have shown nosuch benefit from omega-3 fatty acids. Suppose you areasked to design an experiment to further study this claim.Imagine that you have collected data on Crohn’s relapsesin subjects who have used these omega-3 fatty acids and similar subjects who have not used them and that you canmeasure incidences of relapse for these subjects. Statethe null and alternative hypotheses you would use in yourstudy.
