Given data: The metabolic pathway is described with the help of the following statements:
1. L forms either N or M and M forms O.
2. O will form either R or P, R form S and P will form Q.
3. The reaction from L to M is inhibited by O.
4. The reaction from O to R is inhibited by S and from O to P is inhibited by Q.
The inhibition reaction should be drawn with the help of red colored arrows and a minus sign.
Introduction: The cell possesses an ability to regulate the pathways (metabolic) by controlling the activity of various enzymes. This is done by switching off or on the gene which encodes for particular enzymes. There would be occurrences of chemical chaos, if the metabolic pathways of a cell operate simultaneously, so they are operated distinctly.
To determine: Which of the given reactions from the branched metabolic pathway would prevail, if Q and S will be present in higher concentrations.

- The enzyme lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is produced as an isozyme, which is a way to control the activity of the enzyme. Using LDH as an example, explain how the production of enzymes as isozymes can be used to control enzyme activityarrow_forwardWhich of the following is a primary function of the active site of an enzyme? a. It binds allosteric regulators of the enzyme. b. It binds noncompetitive inhibitors of the enzyme. c. It catalyzes the reaction associated with the enzyme. d. It is activated by the presence of the end product of the metabolic pathway in which the enzyme is involved.

Large amount of protein sample is needed for mass spectrum, and thus it is very expensive. b. It is a powerful method to determine the 3-dimensional structure of proteins. c. It can be sued for protein location in a living cell. d. It can be used to measure the molecular weight of proteins. e. It can be used to determine the stability of a protein structure in solution. Clear my choice…arrow_forwardAn enzyme has a single active site at which it can bind and hydrolyze either X or Y but the enzyme cannot bind X and Y at the same time. Which of the following statements are TRUE? Multiple answers: Multiple answers are accepted for this question Select one or more answers and submit. For keyboard navigation. SHOW MORE The Km for X will be affected if Y is present in the reaction mixture. a Y is a competitive inhibitor of X. The Km for X will increase. d The Vmax for X will be affected if Y is present in the reaction mixture. pH dependence of Vmax reflects the ionization state of catalytic site residues. e Consider the following: X and Y are methanol (poisonous) and ethanol respectively. If the Km for X= 0.01 M and the Km f for Y = 0.001 M then 0.01 M Y is 10 times the concentration of Y required for 0.5 Vmax.

- As you change the temperature from a low temperature to a high temperature what happens to the rate of an enzymatic reaction, in general terms? A The reaction rate will steadily increase as the temperature increases. B The reaction rate will steadily decrease as the temperature increases. C The reaction rate will start low, then increase, and then decrease again as the temperature increases. D The reaction rate will not change as the temperature increases.arrow_forwardIn which of the following is the pairing between enzyme type and enzyme function incorrect? mutase - conversion of one structural isomer into another O oxidase - oxidation of a substrate carbohydrases - hydrolysis of glycosidic bonds in carbohydrates O dehydrogenase - removal of water from substratearrow_forwardWhen the enzyme hexokinase binds to glucose and ATP it undergoes a conformational change. All of the following are true about this enzyme-substrate binding EXCEPT: The active site changes shape so that it binds more tightly to the substrates The substrates are optimally positioned for the reaction to occur The substrates become contorted or strained, which increases their reactivity The activation energy of the reaction increasesarrow_forward
