Chapter 5, Problem 26RE
REFLECT AND APPLY You wish to separate and purify enzyme A from contaminating enzymes B and C. Enzyme A is found in the matrix of the mitochondria. Enzyme B is embedded in the mitochondrial membrane, and enzyme C is found in the peroxisome. Enzymes A and B have molecular weights of 60,000 Da. Enzyme C has a molecular weight of 100,000 Da. Enzyme A has a pI of 6.5. Enzymes B and C have pI values of 7.5. Design an experiment to separate enzyme A from the other two enzymes.

- REFLECT AND APPLY The enzyme D-amino acid oxidase has a very high turnover number because the D-amino acids are potentially toxic. The KM for the enzyme is in the range of 1 to 2 mM for the aromatic amino acids and in the range of 15 to 20 mM for such amino acids as serine, alanine, and the acidic amino acids. Which of these amino acids are the preferred substrates for the enzyme?arrow_forwardREFLECT AND APPLY You are purifying a protein for the first time. You have solubilized it with homogenization in a blender followed by differential centrifugation. You wish to try ammonium sulfate precipitation as the next step. Knowing nothing beforehand about the amount of ammonium sulfate to add, design an experiment to find the proper concentration (% saturation) of ammonium sulfate to use.arrow_forwardREFLECT AND APPLY You are studying with a friend who is describing the Bohr effect. She tells you that in the lungs, hemoglobin binds oxygen and releases hydrogen ion; as a result, the pH in- creases. She goes on to say that in actively metabolizing muscle tissue, hemoglobin releases oxygen and binds hydrogen ion and, as a result, the pH decreases. Do you agree with her reasoning? Why or why not?arrow_forward
- REFLECT AND APPLY Why is it useful to plot rate data for enzymatic reactions as a straight line rather than as a curve?arrow_forwardREFLECT AND APPLY A membrane consists of 50% protein by weight and 50% phosphoglycerides by weight. The average molecular weight of the lipids is 800 Da, and the average molecular weight of the proteins is 50,000 Da. Calculate the molar ratio of lipid to protein.arrow_forwardREFLECT AND APPLY Suggest a reason why heating a solution containing an enzyme markedly decreases its activity. Why is the decrease of activity frequently much less when the solution contains high concentrations of the substrate?arrow_forward
- REFLECT AND APPLY Would nature rely on the same enzyme to catalyze a reaction either way (forward or backward) if the DG were 0.8kcalmol1? If it were 5.3kcalmol1?arrow_forwardREFLECT AND APPLY Would it be more or less likely that cells of the kind we know would evolve on a gas giant such as the planet Jupiter?arrow_forwardREFLECT AND APPLY Look at Figure 2.17. If you did this titration using TRIS instead of phosphate, how would the titration curve look compared to the figure? Explain.arrow_forward
- REFLECT AND APPLY Give two reasons why enzyme catalysts are 103 to 105 more effective than reactions that are catalyzed by, for example, simple H+orOH.arrow_forwardREFLECT AND APPLY Would you expect the production of sugars by plants in photosynthesis to be an exergonic or endergonic process? Give the reason for your answer.arrow_forwardREFLECT AND APPLY What is the relationship between a transition-state analog and the induced-fit model of enzyme kinetics?arrow_forward
