Question
Chapter 19, Problem 19.26UKC
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Whether it is likely to use D-lactate as a substrate for the enzyme reaction given in problem 19.25 has to be explained and if D-lactate binds to the enzyme, how does it affects the enzyme has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Enzyme:
- It is a protein or a molecule which can act as a catalyst for a biological reaction.
- Does not affect the equilibrium point of the reaction.
- Active site of the enzyme is the region where the reaction takes place.
- Enzyme’s activity can be specific which means the activity is limited to a certain substrate and a certain type of reaction and it is referred to as specificity of the enzyme.

Beginning with the 1st tetrahedral intermediate, show the complete steps in chymotrypsin mechanism that occurs to form the 2nd chymotrypsin intermediate in the chymotrypsin active site. The substrate for chymotrypsin to be used is Ala-Tyr-Gly.
Further, name the amino acid(s) that would be released as a result of the reactions you'd illustrated above.
a) Based on the data shown in the image, what are the Km and Vmax for the enzyme with L-DOPA and D-DOPA? Show any relevant analyses or calculatins you did to determine these values. ( HINT a graph might be helpful here! ) b) Based on your answer to part a, briefly describe how the kinetics of the enzyme differs for the two substrates. Which Substrate has better binding affinity to the enzyme
UDP-glucuronosyltransferase enzymes bind the organic compound UDP-glucuronic acid (UDP-GA) in order to catalyse the transfer of a glucuronic acid group from UDP-GA to a drug molecule, releasing UDP from the active site as a product. UDP is then regenerated by the activity of another enzyme.
What terms could be used to describe UDP-GA?
