Consider the analogy of the jiggling box containing coins that was described on page 85. The reaction, the flipping of coins that either face heads up (h) or tails up (T), is described by the equation h ↔ T, where the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction.a. What are ΔG and ΔG° in this analogy? b. What corresponds to the temperature at which the reaction proceeds? What corresponds to the activation energy of the reaction? assume you have an “enzyme,” called jigglase, which catalyzes this reaction. What would the effect of jigglase be and what, mechanically, might jigglase do in this analogy?

You have discovered a new enzyme that has a nearly identical active site to chymotrypsin. This new enzyme uses the same catalytic triad and the same reaction mechanism as chymotrypsin. Your new enzyme differs from chymotrypsin because it cuts peptides at the C terminus of polar, non- ionizable R groups. A) Beginning with the first tetrahedral intermediate, draw the mechanism of catalysis that occurs to cleave the tripeptide Asn- Phe- Lys substrate ending your answer with the product and free enzyme. B) From the list below, which of the components would most likely be found in the area of the enzyme that substitutes the hydrophobic pocket of chymotrypsin? Very briefly explain your choice(s): Ser ile Zn+ Val C) You've constructed a molecule that is able to bind to the 1st tetrahedral intermediate of your new enzyme, preventing catalysis. From experimental results, you can see that this molecule is only able to bind to the tetrahedral intermediate. Assuming that this enzyme follows…

Use drawings to explain how an enzyme (such as hexokinase, mentioned in the text) can distinguish its normal substrate (here d-glucose) from the optical isomer l-glucose, which is not a substrate. (hint: remembering that a carbon atom forms four single bonds that are tetrahedrally arranged and that the optical isomers are mirror images of each other around such a bond, draw the substrate as a simple tetrahedron with four different corners and then draw its mirror image. using this drawing, indicate why only one optical isomer might bind to a schematic active site of an enzyme.)
In the Enzyme Commission database system, an enzyme with the designation 4.3.2.1 would catalyze which reaction below? Select one: O a. The conversion of an alcohol to an aldehyde O b. The conversion of an alcohol to a phosphate O c. The conversion of an alcohol to an ether o d. The conversion of an alcohol to an alkene A buffer molecule is protonated at pH 9. Adding this buffer to a reaction greatly increases the rate of reaction at pH 9.0. What is true about the reaction? Select one: O a. The buffer is a specific base Ob. It is catalyzed by acid OC. It is catalyzed by base o d. The buffer is a specific acid
Write the balanced reaction catalyzed by phophoenolpyruvate carboxylase (P PC). Remember to add any cofactors, and to draw the structure formulas (a line-bond representation is fine) for the main substrate and product of the reaction.
