Chapter 25, Problem 14P
Interpretation Introduction
To write:
About the affects of herbicide roundup on plant metabolism.
Introduction:
The inhibition of 3-enolpyruvylshikimate-5-phosphate synthase by glyphosate ends up in the generation of a compound that forms chorismate. The formation of chorismate happens through the shikimate pathway, that ends up in the assembly of the intermediates phosphoenolpyruvate

The following phenylboronate is a competitive inhibitor of a chymotrypsin-like enzyme. Unlike carbon, boron is quite happy to be bonded to three oxygens (and one carbon)—explain why this feature makes it a much better inhibitor than the corresponding carboxylic acid (which is quite ineffective).
Triosephosphate isomerase (TIM) catalyzes the conversion of dihydroxyacetone phosphate to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate. The enzyme’s catalytic groups are Glu 165 and His 95. In the first step of the reaction, these catalytic groups function as a general-base and a general-acid catalyst, respectively. Propose a mechanism for the reaction.
The isoelectric point (pI) of 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase is 6.0. Explain why the buffer used in DEAE cellulose chromatography must have a pH greater than 6 but less than 9 in order for the enzyme to bind to the DEAE resin.

- Distinguishing 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_forwardDraw the Fischer projection of glucose and show its catabolism until it releases carbon dioxide via complete oxidation.

- The fact that acid-anhydride bonds are less stable than ester bonds helps explain the fact that the bond between the: Beta- and gamma-phosphoryl groups in atp is a high energy bond, but not the bond between the alpha-phosphorly groups and the hydroxyl of ribose. Phosphorly groups and the hydroxyl at the C-3 position in 3-phosphoglycerate is a high-energy bond. Beta- gamma- phosphoryl groups in ATP is a high-energy bond, but not bond between the alpha and beta-phosphoryl groups. Alpha-phosphorly group (i.e, the one nearest the ribose) and the hydroxyl at the 5’ position in ATP is a high-energy bond.arrow_forwardHuman blood serum contains a class of enzymes known as acid phosphatases, which hydrolyze biological phosphate esters under slightly acidic conditions (pH 5.0): R-O-P-O3-2 + H2O --> R-OH + HO-P-O3-2. Acid phosphatases are produced by erythrocytes, the liver, kidney, spleen, and prostate gland. The enzyme from the prostate gland is clinically important because an increased activity in the blood is frequently an indication of cancer of the prostate gland. The phosphatase from the prostate gland is strongly inhibited by tartrate ion, but acid phosphatases from other tissues are not. How can this information be used to develop a commercial specific procedure for measuring the activity of the acid phosphatase of the prostate gland in human blood serum? * 1.
