Describe experimental enzyme inhibition and how it leads to a deeper understanding of enzyme mechanisms. Explain mechanism-based enzyme inhibition. Describe enzyme inhibition by a transition-state analog. For fluoroacetate and hypoglcyin A, explain how each of these mechanism-based inhibitors is converted to the actual enzyme inhibitor and how this inhibitor then inhibits the relevant enzyme..
Discuss in a short paragraph (3–5 sentences for each mutation) whether or not the enzyme is likely to completely lose catalytic activity if the following mutations are carried out. You may assume that steric effects do not distort the active site so much that catalysis cannot take place; focus your analysis on discussing the chemistry the amino acid side chains are able to perform and the properties that enable them to do so. Mutation 1: H to E Mutation 2: H to N Mutation 3: S to D Mutation 4: S to C
The enzyme mutase which is important for the synthetic of tyrosine and phenylalanine in saccharomyces cerevisiae has been studied as an example of an allosteric enzyme. Tyrosine acts as a negative effector for this enzyme. What effects would you see on the action of the enzyme were you to increase the concentration of tyrosine? The chorismate mutase would shift to its R conformation The curve showing the kinetics or chorismate mutase would shift to the right The curve showing the kinetics of chorismate mutase would shift to the left The chorismate mutase would become saturated more rapidly
On what structural level of the enzyme (primary, secondary, tertiary or quaternary) does the enzyme- substrate interaction depend?
If you can clearly visualize the chymotrypsin mechanism of action, you should be able to picture the structure of the transition state right after the enzyme attacks the first substrate. Think hard about what we have covered, and visualize that transition state accurately:
Some enzymes can be regulated by covalent modification, in which a group is covalently bonded to an amino acid side chain. Phosphorylation of side chains is a common regulatory covalent modification. In this essay, you will explore phosphorylation of side chains. Compare and contrast the types of interactions a free alcohol side chain such as serine could make with that of a phosphorylated alcohol such as phosphoserine (pSer). Could this modification affect the 3D structure of the protein? How? Imagine you are trying to separate a protein containing an unphosphorylated S residue from the same protein containing a pSer residue. Discuss how you could use ion-exchange chromatography to separate these two proteins
A potent inhibitor effectively inhibits an enzyme catalyzed reaction. What kind of a Ki value you would expect for a potent inhibitor?
When we compare the binding of I and of S to the enzyme in a mixed noncompetitive inhibitor, we assumed that the binding of I decreased the affinity of the enzyme for S. What would happen if the opposite were true?
What is the defining characteristic for an enzyme catalyzing a sequential reaction? A doubledisplacement reaction?
Although we have introduced catalytic strategies separately, an enzyme typically employs more than one during a reaction. The catalytic strategies employed by serine protease include: Select one or more: O a. reduction of ASt b. transition state stabilization Oc. metal-assisted catalysis O d. acid/base catalysis O e. covalent catalysis
3) Read the situations below and indicate which of the four methods of enzyme regulation is occurring for each. a) The energy-carrying molecule ATP is made by the enzyme ATP synthase. Muscle cells use a lot of energy and also have higher amounts of the ATP synthase enzyme than many other cell types. General mechanism of enzyme regulation: S b) Prostaglandins are messenger molecules involved in the inflammatory response, as well as the perception of pain. They are synthesized from polyunsaturated fatty acid substrates by an enzym called cyclo-oxygenase. "Ibuprofen" is the active ingredient in a variety of anti-inflammatory medications such as Motrin® and Advil®. It reduces pain and swelling by binding to a hydrophobic channel in the active site of cyclo-oxygenase, blocking the polyunsaturated fatty acids from binding to the enzyme, and therefore stopping production of prostaglandins. General mechanism of enzyme regulation:
Allosteric activators block the active site, so the enzyme cannot bind True Or False
