QUESTION 2 Below is diagram of a part of the reaction mechanism of the enzyme Aldolase. The first structure shows the ES complex with the substrate (fructose-1,6-bisphosphate) bound to the enzyme's substrate binding site. The second structure shows one of the intermediates of the reaction mechanism interacting with the enzyme active site. The enzyme is shown as a the wavy line around the perimeter. Parts of amino acid side chains key to the reaction mechanism are shown interacting with the substrate and intermediate. Use these structures to answer the following questions: HO CH₂ -CH HC -OH HC H₂C :0 E-S Complex -OH OPO, +H₂N- N S57 2K119 H224 H₂O -20₂PO НО CH₂ -CH HC O HC- -OH H₂C E-TS Complex OPO₂-2 *HN- K119 S57 H224 What type of catalytic strategy is the lysine involved in? What type of catalytic strategy is the histidine involved in? What type of catalytic strategy is the serine involved in? Which amino acid accounts for the fact that this enzyme is specific for fructose-1,6-phosphate and not fructose? Which mutation could potentially replace H224 and still retain activity? Acid/Base Catalysis Covalent Catalysis Metal Catalysis Proximity/Orientation Effect Transition State Stabilization lysine histidine serine H224F H224E H224N
Enzyme kinetics
In biochemistry, enzymes are proteins that act as biological catalysts. Catalysis is the addition of a catalyst to a chemical reaction to speed up the pace of the reaction. Catalysis can be categorized as either homogeneous or heterogeneous, depending on whether the catalysts are distributed in the same phase as that of the reactants. Enzymes are an essential part of the cell because, without them, many organic processes would slow down and thus will affect the processes that are important for cell survival and sustenance.
Regulation of Enzymes
A substance that acts as a catalyst to regulate the reaction rate in the living organism's metabolic pathways without itself getting altered is an enzyme. Most of the biological reactions and metabolic pathways in the living systems are carried out by enzymes. They are specific for their works and work in particular conditions. It maintains the best possible rate of reaction in the most stable state. The enzymes have distinct properties as they can proceed with the reaction in any direction, their particular binding sites, pH specificity, temperature specificity required in very few amounts.
