Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The hypothesis for the different results of ibuprofen and indomethacin inhibitors should be determined.

Concept introduction:

The substances that are added in a reaction in order to slow down it or to prevent the formation of unwanted products are called inhibitors. These are just the opposite of catalysts. There are three types of inhibitors:

  1. Competitive inhibitors: These occupy the region where the substrate is to be placed and therefore it blocks the active site of the enzyme. Methotrexate is an example of a competitive inhibitor.
  2. Uncompetitive inhibitors: These bind to enzyme-substrate complex and therefore the enzyme becomes unable to react with the substrate. Lansoprazole is an example of an uncompetitive inhibitor.
  3. Non-competitive inhibitors: These bind to some region of the enzyme other than the active site and alter its shape. Phenethyl isothiocyanate is an example of a non-competitive inhibitor.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The results with the use of aspirin should be determined.

The enzyme lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) catalyzes the conversion of pyruvate to lactatein skeletal muscle cells using NAD/NADH during anaerobic “balanced” fermentation.Answer the following questions about this reaction. (a) Write out the two reductive half reactions and indicate the E ̊' for each half reaction. Write out the full balanced reaction for the pyruvate to lactate rxn and indicate the ∆E ̊' for the reaction. (b) What is the free energy change under standard state conditions for thisreaction? Which direction is spontaneous?(c) Assume that in skeletal muscle cells the ratio of [NAD+] to [NADH] is 100, and that the[pyruvate] = 0.40 mM and [lactate] = 4.0 mM. What is the free energy change (∆G')for the conversion of pyruvate to lactate? Indicate the direction in which the reactionis spontaneous under these cellular conditions.
Why did the authors worry about the temperature-dependent solubility of the carriers in thebilayer? How did the authors determine whether the effect of freezing the lipid bilayer wasto decrease the solubility of the carriers (nonactin and valinomycin) or whether the effectwas to impair their ability to diffuse through the membrane (decrease their mobility)?
