Chapter 10, Problem 12P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The factor by which the alteration in the concentration’s ratio of the enzyme molecules present in the R and T states is done with the help of the binding of single substrate molecule per enzyme molecule is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Enzymes being the catalysts increase the rate of reaction. In an enzyme-catalyzed reaction, the rate of reaction for the product formation depends on the concentration of enzyme, as well as the substrate involved in the reaction via formation of an enzyme substrate complex. The enzyme which is able to do the conformational changes if an effector gets attached to it is known as allosteric enzyme.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The ratio of the molecules of enzyme which are present in the R state with the enzyme molecules present in the T state containing the saturating amounts of the substrate is to be stated.

what are the different classes and some examples of neuroprotectants that can be used to treat, prevent, or combat neurotoxicity/a neurotoxicant...for example, antioxidants, nutraceuticals, etc.,..?
Imagine that aldolase can react with the seven carbon molecule Sedoheptulose-1,7-bisphosphate (below). Use the mechanism to predict the two products generated. Please draw out the stereochemistry in a fischer projection.
Sodium borohydride (NaBH4) is a potent inhibitor of aldolase. It is known to ONLY inhibit theenzyme when it is complexed with substrate. Treatment of the enzyme alone has no effect.What is the mechanism for this inhibition? Please draw out the mechanism and show how it inhibits this.
