Chapter 16, Problem 22P
Interpretation Introduction

To Explain:

Function of switch 1 of active model for K1F1A kinesin protein should be identified. Why K1F1A cannot move cargo when switch 1 is bound to AMPPNP should be explained.

Introduction:

A kinesin is a protein which acts as molecular motor in eukaryotic cells. Using the free energy by ATP hydrolysis kinesins move along microtubules. The active movement of kinesins involve in several cellular functions such as mitosis, meiosis and axonal transport. K1F1A is a member of kinesin family.

A non-hydrolysable analogue of ATP is AMP-PNP. It enhances the interaction between membranous organelles and microtubules and inhibits axonal transport.

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.
