Q5:
The hydrolysis of pyrophosphate to orthophosphate drives biosynthetic reactions such as DNA synthesis. In Escherichia coli,
a pyrophosphatase catalyzes this hydrolytic reaction. The pyrophosphatase has a mass of 120 kDa and consists of six identical
subunits. A unit of activity for this enzyme, U, is the amount of enzyme that hydrolyzes 10 umol of pyrophosphate in
15 minutes. The purified enzyme has a Vnax of 2800 U per milligram of enzyme.
When (S] >> KM, how many micromoles of substrate can 1 mg of enzyme hydrolyze per second?
Vnax =
umol -s. mg-
If cach enzyme subunit has one active site, how many micromoles of active sites, or (E]r, are there in 1 mg of enzyme?
(Er =
umol - mg-
Identify the modes of catalysis and when / why they occur• Acid-base • Covalent• Transition state stabilization• Catalysis by proximity • Catalysis by strain• Lock & key is better seen as describing substrate binding to active site

It breaks down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine after it binds the acetylcholine receptor. Its active site has the same features used by serine proteases. Here is the reaction catalyzed by Acetylcholine esterase: Acetylcholine Choline OH Acetate + H Acetylcholine is an ester, while peptide bonds cleaved by proteases are amides. How should acetylcholine estease's mechanism accommodate this? This cannot be determined from the information presented in class and in this question. For amides, the amide nitrogen is deprotonate to make it more like an ester. The same mechanism cleaves deprotonated amides and esters. No changes are needed. The mechanism same works for esters and amides. Prior to cleavage, a transamination converts the ester to an amide. The esterase will make a covalent intermediate to an amine to create the amide to be cleaved.arrow_forwardWhich of the following general molecules will react with Br2 so that the major substrate product structure contains TWO Br atoms after ONE reaction step?

However, most proteins are not degraded unless they come into contact with proteases in cells. What is the reasoning for this paradox? The reaction is endergonic and will not proceed without energy. There is very little water inside cells to react with protein molecules. The free energy change doesn't reveal anything about the rate of the reaction. The concentration of proteins are low which allows them to be more stable.arrow_forward11.
