Question
Chapter 32, Problem 12P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The mechanisms for the synthesis of c-AMP from ATP in the presence of adenylyl cyclise and for the dissociation of cAMP and 5’-AMP by phosphodiesterase needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) is known to be a second messenger used for the intracellular signal induction. It is produced from adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in the presence of enzymes (g-proteins) attached to the metabotropic receptors. It releases the cAMP after the activation of the receptor.
It is important in all the main biological processes. It is mainly used for transfer of signal in between the cells of different organisms.

They are re-sponsible for producing fever and inflammation and its associated pain. Prostaglandins are derived from the 20-carbon fatty acid arachidonic acid in a reaction catalyzed by the enzyme prostaglandin en-doperoxide synthase. This enzyme, a cyclooxygenase, uses oxygen to convert arachidonic acid to PGG2, the immediate precursor of many different prostaglandins (prostaglandin synthesis is described in Chapter 21). a)The kinetic data given below are for the reaction catalyzed by prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase.
