In the first step of the aldolase reaction, an active site Lys229 residue, with its side chain amino group in the deprotonated state, acts as a nucleophile and attacks the carbonyl C2 carbon of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate to form a Schiff base (boxed in the scheme). Since the pKa of the Lys side chain amino group in free solution is ~10.5, the pKa of Lys229 side chain must have been perturbed to a (higher lower) value for the enzyme to be active at neutral pH. the answer should include sufficient details, including the definition of pKa.
The protein catalase is an enzyme that catalyzes the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide:2 H2O2 (aq) → 2 H2O (l) + O2 (g)and has a Michaelis-Menten constant of 25 × 10-3 mol·dm-3 and a turnover number of 4.0×107s-1.The total enzyme concentration is 0.016×10-6 mol·dm-3 and the initial substrate concentration is4.32×10-6 mol·dm-3 Calculate the maximum reaction rate (????) for this enzyme, and the initial rateof this reaction. Note that catalase has a single active site.
at what substrate concentration is v= 5.0 mM s^-1 for the enzyme catalyzed hydrolysis of trehalose?
The reaction catalyzed by phosphorylase is readily reversible in vitro. At pH 6.8, the equilibrium ratio of orthophosphate to glucose 1-phosphate is 3.6. The value of ΔG°’ for this reaction is small because a glycosidic bond is replaced by a phosphoryl ester bond that has a nearly equal transfer potential. However, phosphorolysis proceeds far in the direction of glycogen breakdown in vivo. Suggest one means by which the reaction can be made irreversible in vivo.
There is a cysteine protease, which uses a similar chemical mechanism to chymotrypsin except for using cysteine instead of serine during catalysis. Please draw the stepwise chemical mechanism for the cysteine protease.
In the pyrimidine degradative pathway, all pyrimidines undergo conversion to uracil, which undergoes an NADPH-dependent reduction. Show plausible reactions leading from cytidine, cytosine, and uridine to uracil, and write a plausible structure for the product of uracil reduction (dihydrouracil).
The active site of an enzyme that uses a general acid-base catalytic mechanism contains a Glu and an Asp residue (both of which are essential for catalysis) with pKa values of 5.9 and 4.5, respectively. If the enzyme is found in the lysosome (pH = 5.2), which residue will act as the general acid and which will act as the general base during the initial steps of the reaction?
The active site of lysozyme contains two amino acid residues essential for catalysis: Glu35 and Asp52. The pKa values of the carboxyl side chains of these residues are 5.9 and 4.5, respectively. What is the ionization state(protonated or deprotonated) of each residue at pH 5.2, the pH optimum of lysozyme? How can the ionization states of these residues explain the pH-activity profile of lysozyme shown below?
