Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Whether sucrose is enzyme or not has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Enzymes are proteins that serve as biological catalysts for biochemical reactions in organisms. They can enhance
(1) Hydrolase: Enzyme that catalyzes hydrolysis reaction. They can be subdivided into lipase that hydrolyzes ester bond in lipids and proteases that hydrolyze proteins.
(2) Dehydrogenase: Enzyme that catalyzes dehydrogenation reaction.
(3) Oxidases: Enzymes that catalyze oxidation reactions.
Mostly name of enzymes end with suffix
(b)
Interpretation:
Whether sucrase is enzyme or not has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(c)
Interpretation:
Whether lactose is enzyme or not has to be determined.

- What is the general role of enzymes in the human body?arrow_forwardWhy are enzymes that are used for laboratory or clinical work stored in refrigerators?arrow_forwardA solution of the enzyme glycogen synthase incubated at 45°C lost 70% of its activity in 3 minutes „but when incubated at 45°C in the presence of a very large concentration of its substrate UDP- Glucose, it lost only 3% of its activity in the same amount of time, Why? Clu CH,OH CH, OH HO, он CH;OH CH2OH но HO он HO UDP O-P-0 OH OH NH o--o CH, OH CH2OH CH,OH OH OH HO UDP-glucose binding makes it easier for the enzyme to unfold. The enzyme likely had phosphate groups added through covalent modification. O Interactions with the bound UDP-glucose stabilize the tertiary structure of glycogen synthase. The UDP-Glucose is a positíve effector which increases the enzyme activity.arrow_forward
- Enzymes are specific to their substrates. How is this important?arrow_forward32. Although most enzymes are quite specific, they can catalyze side reactions with compounds that are structurally similar to their physiological substrates, but usually at much slower rates. For example, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), which normally catalyzes the oxidative phosphorylation of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, can slowly convert erythrose-4-phosphate, an intermediate in the pentose phosphate pathway, to 1,4-bisphosphoerythronate: H OPO² H-C-OH H-C-OH +NAD HLC-OPO. Erythrose-4- phosphate GAPDH H-C-CH H-CHOH +NADH + H² H.C-OPO. 1,4-Bisphosphoerythronatearrow_forwardChemistry What is the main aspect that the enzymes succinyl-CoA synthetase, pyruvate kinase, and phosphoglycerate kinase have in common?arrow_forward

At standard temperatures and pressure, calculate the Keq and the ΔGo' glucose 6-phosphate <---(phosphoglucoisomerase)---> glucose 1-phosphate Keq= ΔGo' =arrow_forwardWhy do we say the two enzyme-catalyzed reactions taking place in your test tube are "coupled"? O peroxidase and glucose oxidase utilize hydrogen peroxide as a substrate O peroxidase utilizes the lactone produced by glucose oxidase as a substrate O because there is a dye in solution O peroxidase and glucose oxidase utilize glucose as a substrate Operoxidase utilizes the hydrogen peroxide produced by glucose oxidase as a substrate Evaluatearrow_forward
- For a given acid HA, it was determined that at pH 6.0 the concentration of the conjugate base [A] was 0.075 M and the acid [HA] was 0.025 M. What percent of this acid is ionized at pH 6.0? What is the pKa of this acid? What pH would this acid be 50% lonized?arrow_forwardEnzymes function most efficiently at the temperature of a typical cell, which is 37 degrees Celsius. Increases or decreases in temperature can significantly lower the reaction rate. What does this suggest about the importance of temperature-regulating mechanisms in organisms? How does this translate to the development of enzyme assays for clinical laboratory testing equipment? Explain.arrow_forwardOxaloacetate is an inhibitor of succinate dehydrogenase because it is structurally very similar to succinate as shown below. Also, its binding to the enzyme does not involve any covalent bond formation. What type of inhibitor is oxaloacetate? COO | CH₂ 1 CH₂ 1 COO Succinate COO | CH₂ C=O COO Oxaloacetate O a noncompetitive inhibitor both a noncompetitive and an irreversible inhibitor O an irreversible inhibitor O a competitive inhibitorarrow_forward
