**Question 1:**A) Explain this statement, “Most enzymes are gene-encoded proteins, but most enzymes are not only protein.”B) You recently isolated a new enzyme in your lab, and you named it “lipidase 1120”. As a temporary name, this is fine. Who is responsible for assigning a formal name, and on what criteria will that name be assigned?**Explanation:**A) The statement indicates that while enzymes are primarily proteins synthesized based on genetic instructions, they often have cofactors or coenzymes that are necessary for their catalytic activity. These additional components can be metal ions or organic molecules, making the enzyme a holoenzyme (an active enzyme with its non-protein components).B) The responsibility for assigning a formal enzyme name lies with the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB), which uses a systematic method to ensure each enzyme’s function and characteristics are clearly defined. Names are typically based on the reactions they catalyze and conform to specific nomenclature rules set by the IUBMB.

Enzymes are the catalysts, which are composed of proteins. They help in enzyme catalysis, in which…

2) A group of three researchers (who often tend to disagree with one another) isolated a new protein and found that the gene sequence of this protein contained a Cys-X3-Cys-X2-Cys-X2-Cys motif (where X is any amino acid). а) you agree? Briefly explain why (or why not). One of the researchers suggested that this must be an enzyme containing a Mn-cluster. Do b) center and this Zn site must have a structural (rather than catalytic) role. Do you agree (or disagree) that this would indeed be a structural Zn site? Briefly explain. The second researcher instead claimed that this must be a protein containing a single Zn

1. TRUE OR FALSE a) The genetic code in unambigous that means many codons can code for the same amino acids. b) There are no aminoacyl-tRNAs that will go to the A site of the ribosome when UGA is the codon.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited disorder caused by different types of mutations, many of which prevent ions from moving across cell membranes. Normally there are channel proteins that allow passage of the ions, but in patients with one kind of CF these proteins seem odd. Closer examination shows that these proteins display the correct amino acid sequence. However, they fail to do their job. A) Given that the primary structure of the protein is correct, what can you infer about the DNA sequence for the gene coding this protein on this patient, is there a mutation? Explain. B) Why is the primary structure insufficient to guarantee the proper function of the protein?
The Shine-Dalgarno sequence binds to sequence within the large ribosomal subunit so that ribosomes can properly assemble. The parameter that will definitely differ between an enzyme-catalyzed reaction and the corresponding uncatalyzed reaction is the free energy difference between products and reactants.
Changing only the R-group on a penicillin-family antibiotic could have many consequences. Which of the following possibilities is LEAST likely? Changing the R-group on a penicillin-family antibiotic would cause it to become a protein-synthesis inhibitor. Changing the R-group on a penicillin-family antibiotic would increase the half-life of the drug. Changing the R-group on a penicillin-family antibiotic would make a version that is more effective at killing Gram negative cells. Changing the R-group on a penicillin-family antibiotic would change the dosage that you would give a patient.
