Chapter 15, Problem 9TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The process of mutation occurs when there is a change in the DNA sequence that is not repaired. This results in a change in the amino acids. This change can either be negative or positive. The change sometimes affects the enzyme activity.

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:
hich of the following are advantages of quaternary structure? Choose all correct
nswers
1) The genes may be for single subunits, rather than requirement for
transcription and translation of giant sequences
2) Subunit construction may provide the structural basis for protein regulation
3) Multi-subunit proteins are more water soluble than single subunit proteins of
the same size
4) Defects in protein synthesis may be fixed at the subunit level, rather than
giant polypeptide level
5) May have multiple active sites - one on each subunit

All enzymes can be categorized in one of six major classes based on the reactions the proteases kinases hydrolases phosphatases endonucleases An important factor that influences the rate of a biochemical reaction is the temperature. Raising the temperature of a biochemical reaction has which effect upon the kinetics of the reaction? a) b) c) d) e) increases the free energy of the reactants increases the free energy of the transition state decreases the free energy of the reactants decreases the free energy of the transition state decreases the free energy of the productsarrow_forwardCH₂OH 애 H2COPO 2- ATP OH 1 애 애 어 애 The class of the enzyme catalyzing the reaction shown in this figure is a(n) Choose the one best answer. ligase 매 +ADP 매arrow_forwardPTGS1 and PTGS2 are isozymes.

- Corticosteroids (a type of hormone), and Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) are non-narcotic pain relievers. Both medications are prescribed to reduce inflammation in the body. NSAIDs such as aspirin, acetaminophen, and ibuprofen are able to reduce pain, fever, and inflammation by blocking the action of the cyclooxygenase enzyme (COX) that catalyzes the conversion of arachidonic acid into prostaglandins. Common corticosteroids include prednisone, cortisone, and methylprednisolone. Choose one of these three corticosteroids. The corticosteroid that you choose and then explain how the drug works to reduce inflammation.arrow_forwardCorticosteroids (a type of hormone), and Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) are non-narcotic pain relievers.

- Which of the following statements is false regarding an enzyme's ability to catalyse a reaction? an enzyme provides a reaction surface and a hydrophilic environment for the reaction to take place an enzyme binds reactants such that they are positioned correctly and can attain their transition-state configurations an enzyme allows the reaction to go through a more stable transition state than would normally be the case an enzyme can weaken bonds in reactants through the binding processarrow_forwardWhich one of the following best describes the role of water in the reaction that is catalyzed by chymotrypsin? choose the best answer based on your coverage. Water forms several H-bonds with the transition state to stabilize it. Water deprotonates the Ser, converting Ser into a strong nucleophile. Water is a product of the reaction. His deprotonates the water, converting the water into a strong nucleophile. Water serves as a catalyst, being consumed and then regenerated in the reaction.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements regarding enzymes and transition states is true? stabilization of the transition state must be less than stabilization of ES for catalysis to occur binding of substrate to an enzyme often causes strain, thus promoting transition state formation the transition state conformation of an enzyme catalyzed reaction is identical to the conformation seen in the uncatalyzed transition state formation of the transition state always assures that the reaction will proceed to product none of the above are truearrow_forward
- Kinases catalyze the transfer of a phosphate group from a phosphate donor such as adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to a substrate. A well‑known kinase is hexokinase. Hexokinase catalyzes the first step of the glycolysis cycle, and converts glucose to glucose‑6‑phosphate. The reaction of glucose with ATP is shown. The enzyme‑bound base is abbreviated as :B−, and ATP is abbreviated as a diphosphate bonded to adenosine monophosphate (AMP).arrow_forwardKinases catalyze the transfer of a phosphate group from a phosphate donor such as adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to a substrate.
