- Acetylcholine (ACh) is an important signaling molecule in the nervous system. After it transmits a signal, ACh is broken down by the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in a reaction known as ACh hydrolysis. Which of the following best describes the effect AChE has on the hydrolysis of ACh? Group of answer choices AChE decreases the activation energy of ACh hydrolysis, increasing the rate of this reaction AChE increases the activiation energy of ACh hydrolysis, increasing its rate AChE decreases the activation energy of ACh hydrolysis, decreasing the rate of this reaction AChE increases the activiation energy of ACh hydrolysis, increasing the rate of this reactionarrow_forwardPredict the product(s) obtained when each of the following compounds is treated with a mixture of nitric acid and sulfuric acid.

- One of the steps in the pentose phosphate pathway for glucose catabolism is the reaction of sedoheptulose 7-phosphate with glyceraldehydes 3-phosphate in the presence of a transaldolase to yield erythrose 4-phosphate and fructose 6-phosphate. (a) The first part of the reaction is the formation of a protonated Schiff base of sedoheptulose 7-phosphate with a lysine residue in the enzyme followed by a retro-aldol cleavage to give an enamine plus erythrose 4-phosphate. Show the structure of the enamine and the mechanism by which it is formed. (b) The second part of the reaction is a nucleophilic addition of the enamine to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate followed by hydrolysis of the Schiff base to give fructose 6-phosphate.

- Find the product of this enzyme catalyzed reaction.arrow_forwardPyruvate carboxylase is thought to activate CO2 by ATP, through formation of carboxyphosphate as an intermediate. Propose a mechanism for the formation of this intermediate.arrow_forwardA graduate student was studying enzymatic reductions of cyclohexanones when she encountered some interesting chemistry. When she used an enzyme and NADPH to reduce the following ketone, she was surprised to find that the product was optically active. She carefully repurified the product so that no enzyme, NADPH, or other contaminants were present. Still, the product was optically active. Is the product capable of showing optical activity? If it is, explain how.arrow_forward
