They are re-sponsible for producing fever and inflammation and its associated pain. Prostaglandins are derived from the 20-carbon fatty acid arachidonic acid in a reaction catalyzed by the enzyme prostaglandin en-doperoxide synthase. This enzyme, a cyclooxygenase, uses oxygen to convert arachidonic acid to PGG2, the immediate precursor of many different prostaglandins (prostaglandin synthesis is described in Chapter 21). a)The kinetic data given below are for the reaction catalyzed by prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase. Focusing here on the first two columns, determine the Vmax and Km of the enzyme. b)Ibuprofen is an inhibitor of prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase. By inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins, ibuprofen reduces inflammation and pain. Using the data in the first and third columns of…arrow_forward
- Modeling the Regulation of AcetyI-CoA Carboxylase Based on the information presented in the text and in Figures 24.4 and 24.5, suggest a model for the regulation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase. Consider the possible roles of subunit interactions, phosphorylation, and conformation changes in your model.arrow_forwardDistinguishing the Mechanisms of Class I and Class I Aldolases Fructose bisphosphate aldolase in animal muscle is a class 1 aldolase, which forms a Schiff base intermediate between substrate (for example. fructose-1, 6-bisphosphate or dihydroxyacetone phosphate) and a lysine at the active site (see Figure I8.12). The chemical evidence for this intermediate conies from studies with aldolase and the reducing agent sodium borohydride, NaBH4. Incubation of the enzyme with dihydroxyacetone phosphate and NaBH4 inactivates the enzyme. Interestingly, no inactivation is observed if NabH4 is added to the enzyme in the absence of substrate. Write a mechanism that explains these observations and provides evidence for the formation of a Schiff base intermediate in the aldolase reaction.arrow_forwardGlucagon The function of glucagon is in promoting energy release and inhibiting energy storage in response to low circulating glucose levels, which are largely controlled by insulin [24]. Besides its role in blood–glucose regulation, patients treated with glucagon receptor an tagonists (GRA) often suffer from dyslipidemia, fatty liver and weight gain, suggesting that glucagon play an important role in lipid metabolism [25]. Glucagon acts mainly on the hepatocytes which possess the highest level of glucagon receptors. Following mecha nisms may be involved during this process: (1) At the molecular level, following glucagon binding to its receptor on the hepatocyte, cAMP will be activated and accumulated, which in turn activates cAMP-response element-binding protein (CREB). As a result, the tran scription of carnitine acyl transferase (CPT-1) increases, which converts fatty acids into acylcarnitine and activates β-oxidation-increasing fatty acid catabolism [26]. In addition,…arrow_forward

- At body temperature, L-aspartate in proteins race-mizes to D-aspartate at an appreciable rate. Most pro-teins in the body have a very low level of D-aspartate, if itcan be detected at all. Elastin, however, has a fairly highlevel of D-aspartate. Moreover, the amount of D-aspartateincreases in direct proportion to the age of the person fromwhom the sample was taken. Why do you suppose thatmost proteins have little if any D-aspartate, while elastinhas levels of D-aspartate that increase steadily with age?arrow_forwardThe interconverison of DHAP and GAP greatly favors the formation of DHAP at equilibirum.
