Write the balanced, overall reaction for the situation in which acetate is the donor and carbon source; nitrate is the acceptor and nitrogen source, and fs = 0.333

The following question focuses on how the parameters regulating enzyme function might change, and how these might appear graphically on a Michaelis-Menten plot and a Lineweaver-Burke plot. Carbonic anhydrase is an enzyme that will convert CO2 and water into HCO3. CO2 + H20 > H+ + HCO3 There are many different isoforms of this enzyme. (see for instance http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonic_anhydrase 1 Assume that one variant has a Km of 10 µM and a different variant has a Km of 100 µM. Draw on the same graph a typical Michaelis-Menton plot showing the alteration in the rate of carbonic anhydrase as the CO2 level is varied for the two different variants of enzyme, assuming the concentration of the enzyme (10 mM) in the test tube is kept constant. Assume that you have equal amounts of the two different variants of carbonic anhydrase in a number of test tubes and that the Vmax for both enzymes are the same. Be sure to label the axes. For the same conditions as above, draw a…

The standard Gibbs (free) energy of reaction (A,Gº') of the following reaction is equal to zero (at 25 °C and pH 7) pyruvate + aspartate Pyruvate, aspartate and L-alanine are mixed each at a concentration of 1 mM, without oxaloacetate. Calculate the molar concentrations of each compound when the reaction reaches equilibrium. oxaloacétate + L-alanine

Given the tri-acylglyceride (TAG) below as source of energy when administered from an organism's diet, H,C-O HC-0 H,C-o [A] Show the calculated maximum amount of ATP that could be generated by the full oxidation of the compound. Illustrate where the ATPS are derived from (show the reactions and enzymes involved). You can use general structure of the FFA in the reactions involved in the process. (B) Discuss the fate of the glycerol. (C] One of the FFAS derived from the TAG has the same carbon number as glucose. Compare the maximum yield of ATP derivable from this FFA as compared to the ATP yield from glucose.
