Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The group of enzyme to which phosphoglyceromutase belongs is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The phosphoglyceromutase enzyme catalyzes the reaction of internal transferring of phosphate group from the third carbon to second carbon. Due to this 3-phosphoglycerate gets converted into 2-phosphoglycerate.
(b)
Interpretation:
The group of enzyme to which urease belongs is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
A cytosolic enzyme called urease catalyzes the hydrolysis reaction of urea into carbon dioxide and ammonia.
(c)
Interpretation:
The group of enzyme to which succinate dehydrogenase belongs is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Succinate dehydrogenase enzyme participates in citric acid cycle as well as electron transport chain. It catalyzes the reaction involving conversion of succinate to fumarate.
(d)
Interpretation:
The group of enzyme to which aspartase belongs is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
In lyases catalyzed reactions, water is either removed for the formation of a double bond or added across the double bond.
