Question
Chapter 24, Problem 17P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Meaning of the statement that an oxygen atom from the side chain of glutamate is transferred to the orthophosphate group in the reaction catalyzed by glutamine synthetase.
Concept introduction:
Amino acid synthesis is the biochemical process by which amino acids are synthesized. Organisms are not able to synthesize all amino acids. Humans can synthesize only 11 amino acids out of the 20 amino acids. These amino acids are termed as the non-essential amino acids, and the remaining amino acids are termed as the essential amino acids.

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.
Hi, help please. Discuss each method of regulating phosphofructokinase below as indicated by the circle. Discuss 1.) The type of regulation occurring, 2.) What compound or condition performs the regulation, 3.) How/why it influences the enzyme activity.
Instructions.
Given each set of information which may include common name(s) and the reaction catalyzed, you are required to identify the main class of the specific enzyme described.
Name: citryl-CoA synthetase
Reaction: ATP + citrate + CoA = ADP + phosphate + (3S)-citryl-CoA
Name: D-xylulose reductase
Reaction: xylitol + NAD+ = D-xylulose + NADH + H+
Name: cellobiose phosphorylase
Reaction: cellobiose phosphate = α-D-glucose 1-phosphate + D-glucose
Name: carbonic anhydrase
Reaction: H2CO3 = CO2 + H2O
Other info: The enzyme catalyzes the reversible hydration of gaseous CO2 to carbonic acid, which dissociates to give hydrogencarbonate above neutral pH.
Name: pantoate activating enzyme
Reaction: ATP + (R)-pantoate = AMP + diphosphate + (R)-pantothenate.

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.arrow_forward

As we learned, the purpose of tertiary structure is to form a scaffold so you can orient just a few amino acids in the right orientation to promote binding and/or catalysis. The position where this occurs is the active site. The amino acid architecture of an active site is designed to bind substrates. Amino acid side chains are capable of hydrogen bonding, ionic and hydrophobic interactions.

Short peptides such as legumain stabilization and activity modulation (LSAM) domain and αvβ3 integrin could enhance the activity of AEP. LSAM domain known as the prodomain of AEP blocks substrate binding before activation. This prodomain has a helical structure and two independent peptides. One is an activation peptide (AP, K287 to N323), and the other is a LSAM domain. LSAM domain remains even after AP is cleaved and released from protease at neutral pH via electrostatic interaction. AEP without LSAM domain has a lower melting temperature than AEP with LSAM domain [77, 117]. Another short peptide, αvβ3 integrin, can directly interact with AEP, and after forming a complex, the optimal pH for AEP activity is increased from 5.5 to 6.0. It indicates that αvβ3 binding could induce conformational stabilization of AEP accompanied by deprotonated C189. αvβ3 does not directly interact with the AEP active site; however, AEP docks to the αvβ3 RGD-binding site…arrow_forwardSynthetic stoichiometries.
