3. (a) In Bakers yeast there are two variants of cytochrome c, a heme containing protein of 108 amino acid residues that catalyzes electron transfer reactions in mitochondria. The two forms of cyto- chrome c known as iso-1 and iso-2 cytochrome c differ in 17 of the 108 amino acids. The content of proton dissociable side chains for the two cytochromes c is given in the table below: Side chain pka iso-1 cytochrome c Ziso-1 iso-2 cytochrome c 12.5 3 4.0 4 8.0 4.0 6.0 10.0 9.0 7.0 4.0 Arginine Aspartate Cysteine Glutamate Histidine Lysine Tyrosine -NH3Ⓡ -COOH 1 4 4 16 5 1 1 What is the overall electrostatic charge on each cytochrome at pH 8?

The action of this enzyme found in Beano alpha-galactosidase can also according to many sources be used to remove ____________ from the red blood cells of the B blood group and convert them to the O blood group. Since the _________ molecules (composed of many monomers) are connnected to protein on the membrane and also the cell membrane of the red blood cell itself; therefore these molecules help create cell identity and recognition, and when the are connected to proteins they are known as _________ , but if they are connected to the cell membrane itself they are known as ____________. This is a good question for reviewing the structures on the cell membrane as well. The only difference between the B-blood type and the O-blood type is ________. The following is a diagram of the differences of these molecules that determine blood type. List of answers: disaccharid, proteins ,dehydration synthesis ,nucleotide ,amino acids ,nucleic acids ,lactose ,fructose ,sucrose ,hydrolysis…

3. Respiration is related to how cells balance redox reactions in the metabolic pathway. It can be aerobic if there is plenty of oxygen present or anaerobic if not. In class, we discussed the respiratory quotient for triolein as a carbon source. A. Calculate the respiratory quotient (RQ) for aerobic oxidation of the triglyceride formed by glycerin and three stearic acids (tristearin). Draw the structure and write the stoichiometrically balanced equation for the complete breakdown of the triglyceride by oxidation to CO₂ and water. B. As in part A, draw the structure of sucrose, write the stoichiometrically balanced equation and determine the RQ for it's metabolic breakdown to CO₂ and water. C. Anaerobic respiration occurs when cells operate without dissolved oxygen. List at least 4 different chemicals that act as electron acceptors when oxygen is not present.

3. Aspartate aminotransferase (AspAT) catalyzes the following reaction: COO™ C=O CH₂ COO Oxaloacetate The AspAT enzyme has two active-site arginines, Arg 386 and Arg 292, that interact with the a- carboxylate and ß-carboxylate groups on the aspartate substrate, respectively. Investigators stud- ied the mechanism of AspAT in more detail by constructing mutant AspAT enzymes in which either or both of the essential arginines were replaced with a lysine residue. The kinetic parame- ters for the wild-type enzyme and nutant enzymes are shown in the table. NH—CH-COO T CH₂ COO™ Aspartate α-Amino acid Enzyme 1. Wild-type Asp AT(Arg 292 Arg 386) 2.

Why does the dissociation constant change for hemoglobin in high and low 02 concentrations?
