Describe the difference between graphs showing temperature versus reaction rate for an enzyme-catalyzed reaction and an uncatalyzed reaction.
A solution of the enzyme glycogen synthase incubated at 45°C lost 70% of its activity in 3 minutes „but when incubated at 45°C in the presence of a very large concentration of its substrate UDP- Glucose, it lost only 3% of its activity in the same amount of time, Why? Clu CH,OH CH, OH HO, он CH;OH CH2OH но HO он HO UDP O-P-0 OH OH NH o--o CH, OH CH2OH CH,OH OH OH HO UDP-glucose binding makes it easier for the enzyme to unfold. The enzyme likely had phosphate groups added through covalent modification. O Interactions with the bound UDP-glucose stabilize the tertiary structure of glycogen synthase. The UDP-Glucose is a positíve effector which increases the enzyme activity.

Acetylcholinesterase is an enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of acetylcholine to choline. After several purification methods, 44.0 µg of acetylcholinesterase was purified from a crude extract and was found to catalyse the conversion of 16.0 μmol of acetylcholine (the substrate) to choline (the product) in 9 mins. What is the specific activity of acetylcholinesterase in units μmol min-1 mg-1. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number. (i.e. If you calculated 40.03, input your answer as 40.

32. Although most enzymes are quite specific, they can catalyze side reactions with compounds that are structurally similar to their physiological substrates, but usually at much slower rates. For example, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), which normally catalyzes the oxidative phosphorylation of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, can slowly convert erythrose-4-phosphate, an intermediate in the pentose phosphate pathway, to 1,4-bisphosphoerythronate: H OPO² H-C-OH H-C-OH +NAD HLC-OPO.
