Many types of cells are able to use membrane-spanning transport proteins and a source of energy to drive the active transport of glucose across the cell membrane. Let's consider a specific protein that is able to transport (from outside the cell into the cytoplasm) one molecule of glucose for each molecule of ATP the protein hydrolyzes. The details of this process are not important for this problem except that you can treat it like equilibrium process. The overall reaction and the associated AG at 298 K for this process are given below. Glc(out) + ATP + H20 = Glc(in) + ADP +P at T = 298 K, AG = -31.3 kJ mol~1 Additional Information: • P. is "inorganic phosphate" (i.e. PO43- & related species). At equilibrium, [P] = 3 × 10-3 M. • The cell maintains a ratio of ATP to ADP of about 20 (i.e. [ATP]/[ADP] = 20). • The maximum ratio of [Glc(in)] to [Glc(out)] occurs when the system is at equilibrium.

In the scheme below which represents the mechanism of action for a large number of enzymes: A+B⟺AB⟶C The steady state approximation is reached when: d[AB]/dt≈0 k2≫k1 k−1≫k1 k−1=k1

Only a few amino acid residues are actually involved in catalysis in enzymes, yet enzymes are constructed of at least 100 amino acids, and often many more. Suggest some functions for the noncatalytic amino acids.
Chymotrypsin is an enzyme that is optimized to function in the small intestine (at a pH of ~7.4). Explain, given what you know about the chymotrypsin mechanism and what we learned about acid/base chemistry, why chymotrypsin would not be able to initiate catalysis if it were secreted into the stomach (pH ~2.5).
V-class proton pumps run backward relative to the F-class ATP synthase. Consider the cartoon, which shows the conformations of the beta-subunits and ATPIADP + Pj of the F-class synthase.

Assume that in a certain cell, the ratio of products/reactants or Keg = 809.5 (Keq is dimensionless) for the reaction Glucose + 2ATP > Glucose-1,6-diP + 2ADP, at a particular instant, the concentrations of each compound were Glucose =2.4M, ATP =11.1M, ADP -12.8M and G-6-P -28.4M.

When 10 micrograms of an enzyme with a molecular mass of 80,000 Daultons (grams/mol) is added to a solution containing its substrate at a concentration 100 times the Km, it catalyzes the conversion of 65 micromoles of substrate into product in 3 minutes.

The following diagram shows reaction curves for aspartate transcarbamoylase (ATCase) with carbamoylphosphate and different concentrations of aspartate, in the absence of ATP (curve 1) and presence of ATP (curve 2). What do the shapes of the curves tell us about the ATCase enzyme? 2 جر [aspartate] It binds substrate through a sequential mechanism. It binds substte cooperatively. It obeys Michaelis-Menten kinetics. It binds substrate through a concerted mechanism.
Select the graph that correctly illustrates the effect of a positive modifier (effector) on the velocity curve of an allosteric enzyme. Place the correct graph in the set of axes. The solid blue curve represents the unmodified enzyme. The dashed green curve represents the enzyme in the presence of the effector. R is the highly active form of the enzyme and T is the less active form of the enzyme. Assume that this is a positively cooperative enzyme, meaning that the affinity for substrate increases with increasing substrate concentration.
The products of a pathway, or the products of specific reactions in the pathway, will often inhibit upstream regulatory enzymes in that pathway. That makes sense - if the products of a pathway are abundant, then the pathway can be shut off to save energy or divert molecules into other pathways. We can use a similar rule of thumb to predict whether a pathway will be active in different biological states. For example, the liver stores glucose (in the form of glycogen), and will release glucose into the bloodstream when blood sugar levels drop. This glucose can come from the synthesis of glucose or breakdown of stored glycogen. This is important for maintaining blood sugar levels. What would you predict is the relationship between blood sugar levels and glycogen phosphorylase enzyme activity? A positive relationship (when blood sugar levels are high, glycogen phosphorylase activity is also high). A negative relationship (when blood sugar levels are high, glycogen phosphorylase activity…
How can you find Kcat if you are only given Vmax, Km and [E] ? I tried using Kcat=Vmax/[E] but that didn't work. How do you know if [E] is the same as [E]total, and if it isn't how do you find it from this information: The Vmax for a particular enzyme is 10 nmols/L/s. The Km for its substrate is 5 microM. If the enzyme concentration is 10 nM, what is the kcat? a.80 nmoles/L/s b.8000 nmoles/L/s c.2 nmoles/L/s d.50 nmoles/L/s
