- The sedimentation value of aspartate transcarbamoylase decreases when the enzyme switches to the R state. On the basis of the allosteric properties of the enzyme, explain why the sedimentation value decreases.Why might the compound shown below act as a transition state analog of phosphoglucose isomerase? A drawing of the normal transition state for this enzyme is needed.UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase catalyzes the removal of a pyrophosphate group from UTP as it synthesizes UDP-glucose. Why is this necessary, from a biochemical perspective? Both of the phosphate groups from UTP are needed to form UDP-glucose. There is no particular reason: wasteful reactions just happen sometimes. The pyrophosphate (after hydrolysis) is required to free up more phosphate for the synthesis of ATP by oxidative phosphorylation. The subsequent hydrolysis of pyrophosphate is a highly exergonic reaction, which pulls the equilibrium over towards UDP-glucose. Pyrophosphate is an allosteric activator of glycogen synthase, so this helps glycogen synthesis to proceed at a faster rate.
- Why might the compound shown below acts as a transition state analog of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase. Explain. A drawing of a normal transition state for this enzyme is needed.When enzyme solutions are heated, there is a progressive loss of catalytic activity over time due to denaturation of the enzyme. A solution of the enzyme hexokinase incubated at 450C lost 50% of its activity in 12 minutes, but when incubated at 450C in the presence of a very large concentration of one of its substrates, it lost only 3% of its activity in 12 minutes. Suggest why thermal denaturation of hexokinase was retarded in the presence of one substratesWhen enzyme solutions are heated, there is a progressive loss of catalytic activity over time due to denaturation of the enzyme. A solution of the enzyme hexokinase incubated at 45 °C lost 50% of its activity in 12 min, but when incubated at 45 °C in the presence of a very large concentration of one of its substrates, it lost only 3% of its activity in 12 min. Suggest why thermal denaturation of hexokinase was retarded in the presence of one of its substrates.
- Glutamine affects the regulatory system for E. coli glutamine synthetase so as to promote the adenylylation of glutamine synthetase and inhibit the deadenylylation. Why do these effects make good metabolic sense?A solution of the enzyme hexokinase incubated at 45 °C lost 50% of its activity in 12 min, but when incubated at 45 °C in the presence of a very large concentration of one of its substrates, it lost only 3% of its activity in 12 min. Suggest why thermal denaturation of hexokinase was retarded in the presence of one of its substrates. It is impossible for this result to be true. OA. Adding the substrate increases the weak forces that stabilize the enzyme. OB. The high concentration of substrate forms a barrier around the hexokinase. D. Adding the substrate results in protective covalent bonding.Lysozyme residues Asp 101 and Arg 114 are required for effi cient catalysis, although they are located at some distance from the active site Glu 35 and Asp 52. Substituting Ala for either Asp 101 or Arg 114 does not signifi cantly alter the enzyme’s tertiary structure, but it signifi cantly reduces its catalytic activity. Explain.

Although both types produce gastric discomfort after milk ingestion, deficiency of the transferase also leads to liver, kidney, spleen, and brain dysfunction and eventual death.
