- In the first step of the aldolase reaction, an active site Lys229 residue, with its side chain amino group in the deprotonated state, acts as a nucleophile and attacks the carbonyl C2 carbon of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate to form a Schiff base (boxed in the scheme). Since the pKa of the Lys side chain amino group in free solution is ~10.5, the pKa of Lys229 side chain must have been perturbed to a (higher lower) value for the enzyme to be active at neutral pH. the answer should include sufficient details, including the definition of pKa.The reaction catalyzed by phosphorylase is readily reversible in vitro. At pH 6.8, the equilibrium ratio of orthophosphate to glucose 1-phosphate is 3.6. The value of ΔG°’ for this reaction is small because a glycosidic bond is replaced by a phosphoryl ester bond that has a nearly equal transfer potential. However, phosphorolysis proceeds far in the direction of glycogen breakdown in vivo. Suggest one means by which the reaction can be made irreversible in vivo.Refer to the reaction scheme of the GAPDH catalyzed formation of 1,3-BPG. In the reaction, the nucleophile in step (4) is an inorganic phosphate molecule. The enzyme active site is elaborately constructed so that inorganic phosphate, not water, acts as the nucleophile. What advantage is gained by using inorganic phosphate, instead of water, as the nucleophile? Discuss in terms of the energy yield of glycolysis. No need to calculate the total net energy yield of glycolysis.

This reaction was analyzed using purified membrane fragments containing the hyaluronan synthase, a radio-labeled tetrasaccharide acceptor (Part A), along with the activated forms of the sugar subunits: UDP-N-acetylglucosamine and UDP-glucuronic acid. In short incubations with the complete mixture, the tetrasaccharide primer elongated by several units, although only odd-numbered chains were visible (Part B lane 2). If one or both activated sugars were left out, the results shown in lanes 3-5 (Part B) were obtained. Why do you suppose that only odd-number chains are visible in your assay?

- Consider the role of Histidine in the Serine protease mechanism and sketch a plot showing the predicted pH profile of chymotrypsin which has a pH optimum of approximately ~8. The pk, for the His in the catalytic triad is 7.3 in free chymotrypsin which increases to greater than 8 with a bound peptide. Be sure to label the plot axes and indicate the pka of His on the plot,The mechanism of chymotrypsin can be viewed as a two-step process, acylation of the enzyme active site followed by a deacylation reaction. What accounts for the observed "burst" in rapid kinetic studies of the hydrolysis of N-acetyl-L-phenylalanine p-nitrophenyl ester by chymotrypsin? The rate of hydrolysis of the acyl-enzyme intermediate is faster than the rate of forming the acyl-enzyme intermediate. The rates of the acylation and deacylation reactions are equal. The rate of the acylation reaction is slower than the rate of the deacylation reaction. The rate of the acylation reaction is faster than the rate of the deacylation reaction.The enzyme aspartate transcarbamoylase catalyzes an early step in pyrimidine biosynthesis. The two states of the multi-subunit enzyme are shown below. Note that the binding of the regulatory molecule CTP (cytosine triphosphate) causes the enzyme complex to be inactive. Is this situation an example of positive or negative regulation? Explain why the use of CTP as the regulatory molecule is logical givén the overall function of this particular enzyme.

- A mutant form of polypeptide hormone angiotensin II has the amino acid composition (Asp, Arg, Ile, Met, Phe, Pro, Tyr, Val) The following observations are made: Trypsin yields a dipeptide containing Asp and Arg, and a hexapeptide with all the rest. • Cyanogen bromide cleavage yields a dipeptide containing Phe and Pro, and a hexapeptide containing all the others. • Chymotrypsin cleaves the hormone into two tetrapeptides, of composition (Asp, Arg, Tyr, Val) and (Ile, Met, Phe, Pro) • The dipeptide of composition (Pro, Phe) cannot be cleaved by either chymotrypsin or carboxypeptidase.
