Chapter 6.5, Problem 2TC
Summary Introduction

To draw: An enzyme in metabolic pathway for the synthesis of glycogen.

Introduction: Enzymes are proteins that play a key role in the activation of reaction involved in the metabolism. It lowers the activation energy in order to speed up the reaction and act as a catalyst.

Examine the graph showing the rate of reaction versus temperature for an enzyme–catalyzed reaction in a human. a. Describe what is happening to the enzyme at around 40°C. b. Explain why the line touches the x-axis at approximately 20°C and 45°C. c. Average body temperature for humans is 37°C. Suggest a reason why the temperature optimum of this enzyme is greater than 37°C.
Consider the three-dimensional model of the tertiary structure of an enzyme below. Amino acids involved in binding are shaded blue, and amino acids involved in catalysis are shaded red.
Give typed explanation  When an ATP molecule is hydrolyzed in cells, it is quickly recycled back into ATP so that it can be reused. According to most estimates, the average human body has 100g of ATP, but must be hydrolyze around their total body weight in ATP per day to maintain basic metabolism. For a 65 kg person, how many times must each ATP molecule be hydrolyzed and regenerated per day? b) Calculate the heat produced by hydrolysis of 65 kg of ATP (molecular weight of ATP is 507.18)
