Consider the hypothetical biochemical pathway shown below. Assume that each letter (A, B, C, etc) represents a molecule and each number (1, 2, 3, etc) represents an enzyme. Draw arrows indicating all the probable feedback inhibition interactions that would be expected to regulate the activity of enzymes in this pathway.
What is the principle of LAP? Question 3 options: A) phosphatase activity liberates naphthol and immediately coupled with a diazonium salt which forms an insoluble, visible pigment at sites of phosphatase activity B) naphthol couples with fast garnet and forms insoluble maroon deposits at sites of enzyme activity C) peroxidase present in the primary granules of the granulocytic line transfers hydrogen from various dye substrates to hydrogen peroxidase which yields a colored derivative of the dye which is localized at the site of the enzyme activity D) ferric iron deposits in tissue (present mostly as ferric iron within the storage proteinferritin) then react with the soluble ferrocyanide in the stain

3) Read the situations below and indicate which of the four methods of enzyme regulation is occurring for each. a) The energy-carrying molecule ATP is made by the enzyme ATP synthase. Muscle cells use a lot of energy and also have higher amounts of the ATP synthase enzyme than many other cell types. General mechanism of enzyme regulation: S b) Prostaglandins are messenger molecules involved in the inflammatory response, as well as the perception of pain. They are synthesized from polyunsaturated fatty acid substrates by an enzym called cyclo-oxygenase. "Ibuprofen" is the active ingredient in a variety of anti-inflammatory medications such as Motrin® and Advil®. It reduces pain and swelling by binding to a hydrophobic channel in the active site of cyclo-oxygenase, blocking the polyunsaturated fatty acids from binding to the enzyme, and therefore stopping production of prostaglandins. General mechanism of enzyme regulation:
