Biochemistry Body builders often take protein supplements following a heavy workout in order to build muscle mass. One such supplement is called 100% Whey°, produced by the makers of Muscle Milk. The protein in whey contains high concentrations of glucogenic and ketogenic amino acids. Please explain how the increased consumption of protein can actually lead to an increased synthesis of fatty acid

biochemistry acid phospatases are an important group of enzymes that can be detected in human blood serum. Under slightly acidic conditions (pH 5.0), this group of enzymes can hydrolyze biological phosphate esters as follows: R-O-P-O, + H 20> R-OH + HO-P-O,. Acid phosphatases are produced and can be detected in erythrocytes, kidney, spleen, the liver, and prostrate gland. The enzyme from the prostrate gland is clinically important because an increased activity in the blood is frequently an indication of cancer of the prostrate gland. Tartrate ion can strongly inhibit the phosphatase from the prostrate gland, but not acid phosphatases from other tissues. How can you use the information above to develop a specific procedure for measuring the activity of the acid phosphatase of the prostrate gland in human blood serum?
Protein,nfolded Proteinţolded Under certain conditions, a specific protein has the following thermodynamic parameters for going from the unfolded state to the folded state: AH = – 300 kJ/mol, and TAS = – 400 kJ/mol. Under those conditions, the equilibrium would lie more toward neither would predominate - the fraction of total protein that's folded would = fraction unfolded. the folded state the unfolded state O It is impossible to predict the position of the equilibrium from AH and TAS.
Trans-fatty acids are synthetic forms of fatty acids made from altered unsaturated fatty acids. Trans-fatty acids are denser, solid at room temperature, and store more energy in the same unit of volume than unsaturated fatty acids. The production of trans-fatty acids involves the reorientation of one of the hydrogen atoms attached to a double-bonded car- bon atom, as illustrated in the figure below. unsaturated fatty acid OHHHHH HOC CCCC-c II I I HHHH trans-fatty acid |||| Molecular model of an unsaturated and trans-fatty acid Based on the structures shown above, H -C-C-C-C-C-H HHHHH TTTTT !!!!!

BIOCHEMISTRY Why is the Alkaline Phosphotase by Intestinal Bovine inhibited by phosphate?
Years ago there was interest in using uncouplers such as dinitrophenol as weight control agents. Presumably, fat could be oxidized without concomi- tant ATP synthesis for re-formation of fat or carbohydrate. Why was this a bad (i.e., fatal) idea?
Creatine is a popular dietary supplement. What is the biochemical rationale for the use of creatine? It would serve as an electron donor to support reductive biosyntheses required to sustain cellular function. It would promote the movement of ions through ion channels and thus power the synthesis of ATP during exercise. It would be converted into creatine phosphate and thus serve as a rapid means of replenishing ATP during muscle contraction. O It would directly serve as an electron carrier to support the oxidation of fuel molecules and thus energy production. What type of exercise would benefit most from creatine supplementation? O a long-distance run a leisurely walk yoga O sprinting
9. Obesity becomes epidemic in many countrics due to excessive food consumption and reduced physical activity. The problem is that obesity has significant health implications. Therefore, interest in weight reduction is widespread. Orlistat, a modern anti-obesity drug, is a nonhydrolyzable structural analog of a triacylglycerol and powerful inhibitor of the enzyme required for digestion of TAG. Orlistat not only decreases fat absorption, but also stimulates the production of the YY peptide, which gives a satiety sensation, and slows down a food motion along the gastrointestinal traet. Explain the mechanisms of Orlistat's action on the weight loss. For that answer the questions and do the following tasks: a) what enzyme is being inhibited by Orlistat? b) draw the reaction, which happens in the small intestinal, where this drug works as an inhibitor; c) what type of inhibition has Orlistat as it is the structural analog of a triacylglyccrol? d) describe the mechanism of weight loss after…
