(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The class of enzymes which would expect to catalyse the given reaction should be determined.

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.

Classification of enzymes:

  • Oxidoreductases: Used to catalyse oxidation-reduction reactions.
  • Transferases: Used to catalyse transfer of a functional group from one molecule to another.
  • Hydrolases: Used to break a large molecule into smaller ones using water.
  • Isomerases: Used to catalyse isomerization reactions.
  • Lyases: Used to catalyse addition or removal of a small molecule.
  • Ligases: Used to catalyse the bonding of two substrate molecules.

At a pH equal to the isoelectric point (pl) of alanine, the net charge of alanine is zero. Two structures can be drawn that have a net charge of zero, but the predominant form of alanine at its pl is zwitterionic. CH3 H,N CH3 ** H¸N-C H Zwitterionic H Uncharged OH Select statements that explain why alanine is predominantly zwitterionic at its pl. pk of alanine's amino group is more than its pl. pk of alanine's carboxyl group is more than its pl. PK of alanine's carboxyl group is less than its pl. pk of alanine's amino group is less than its pl. Correct Answer What fraction of alanine is in the completely uncharged form at its pl? 1 in 2.2 × 107 1 in 1.6 × 10² 1 in 4680 1 in 9460
How does a voltage-gated sodium channel work? Specifically, how and why does a change in voltage trigger their opening? Please be detailed
When sodium ions enter a neuron during depolarization, they trigger the opening of additional voltage-gated sodium channels nearby, creating a positive feedback loop where the influx of sodium ions further depolarizes the membrane, causing even more sodium channels to open and allowing more sodium ions to enter the cell, thus sustaining the depolarization process until the action potential peaks. But how and why exactly does the influx of sodium ions trigger more sodium channels to let in more sodium? Please explain
