Question
Chapter 29, Problem 18P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The catalytic mechanism for topoisomerase II in the presence of AMP-PNP needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
AMP-PNP acts as a competitive inhibitor to ATP. One strand of DNA twists around the other and it is done in the right-hand direction which is known as DNA super coiling.Topoisomerase can remove super coiling.

47. No exchange. Mice that completely lack ATP-ADP translocase (ANT- /ANT - ) can be made by using the knockout technique. Remarkably, these mice are viable but have the following pathological conditions: (1) high serum levels of lactate, alanine, and succinate; (2) little electron transport; and (3) a six- to eightfold increase in the level of mitochondrial H2O2 compared with that in normal mice. Provide a possible biochemical explanation for each of these conditions.
Biotransformation. Explain the process of enzyme induction. What are the benefits or down-falls of this process.
biosynthesis of Thymidine monophosphate from ATP, HCO3-, Gln, Asp, quinone, and methylene THF. Show your work and don’t forget that the conversion of U to T only happens AFTER Ribonucleotide Reductase processes the 2’, 3’ ribose to the 3’ deoxy ribose

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_forwardPhosphoribosyltransferase (PRT) catalyzes the attachment of a salvaged purine nitrogenous base on the activated form of ribose-5-phosphate called 5-phosphoribosyl- α α-pyrophosphate ( α α-PRPP).
