Question
Chapter 25, Problem 4P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The key regulatory enzyme involved in the pyrimidine synthesis should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Pyrimidine is a heterocyclic nitrogenous base, which is found in the DNA and RNA. DNA has cytosine and thymine as pyrimidines, and RNA has uracil and cytosine has pyrimidines. It is a six-membered ring that contains two nitrogen atoms at 1 and 3 positions.

disease. As such, a frontline treatment for Type 2 diabetes is the drug metformin, which acts indirectly
to inhibit gluconeogenesis in the liver. You are a research biochemist who would like to develop new
drugs that act to directly inhibit gluconeogenesis. You have just gained access to a library of thousands
of small molecules of unknown activity, and you would like to identify lead compounds that have specific
inhibitory activity against steps in the gluconeogenesis pathway.
(a)
into PEP in order to screen for inhibitors of enzymes specific to gluconeogenesis. Which enzymes do
you need to purify, what cofactors and allosteric effectors do they require, and which reactants do you
need to add to reconstitute the reactions for the first bypass? Which intermediates and products are
generated?
Your first approach is to reconstitute the initial set of bypass reactions that convert pyruvate
(b)
vitro reconstitution?
What additional steps and enzymes are required in liver cells but are…
Select all that apply.
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.
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.
