Question
Chapter 25, Problem 25.20P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The advantage of producing triphosphate as a leaving group rather than pyrophosphate is to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
The conversion of pyrophosphate to phosphate by inorganic pyrophosphatase makes many reactions favorable by coupling them to this irreversible reaction. If ADP were used as an adenosyl donor, then the product pyrophosphate would be hydrolyzed by SAM synthase. There will be no pyrophosphate left for hydrolysis by inorganic pyrophophatase.

The hydrolysis of pyrophosphate to orthophosphate drives biosynthetic reactions such as DNA synthesis. In Escherichia coli,
a pyrophosphatase catalyzes this hydrolytic reaction. The pyrophosphatase has a mass of 120 kDa and consists of six identical
subunits. A unit of activity for this enzyme, U, is the amount of enzyme that hydrolyzes 10 umol of pyrophosphate in
15 minutes. The purified enzyme has a Vnax of 2800 U per milligram of enzyme.
When (S] >> KM, how many micromoles of substrate can 1 mg of enzyme hydrolyze per second?
Vnax =
umol -s. mg-
If cach enzyme subunit has one active site, how many micromoles of active sites, or (E]r, are there in 1 mg of enzyme?
(Er =
umol - mg-
Give the major organic product that is formed when the primary hydroxyl group of the following monosaccharide undergo nucleophilic substitution reaction with acetic anhydride
The overall adenylate kinase reaction (2 ADP = AMP + ATP) is a combination of 3 reactions: ATP hydrolysis, pyrophosphate hydrolysis, and ATP formation. Show each step and provide the standard free energy (ΔG°′) for each and the overall reaction. If the adenylate kinase reaction is at equilibrium and intracellular [ATP] = 5 mM and [ADP] = 0.5 mM, calculate the concentration of AMP at pH 7 and 25 °C. Show all work. ATP (ADP+P) = -30.5 kj/mol; ATP (AMP+PP) = -45.6 kj/mol; PP = -19.2 kj/mol
