(a)
Interpretation:
Whether polyphenoloxidase requires a cofactor or not has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The reaction catalyzed by polyphenoloxidase is given as follows:
However for efficient oxidation it requires
(a)
Interpretation:
The nature of inhibition shown by phenylthiourea has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Certain inhibitors may compete to bind at the active site of the enzyme as they resemble the structure of the natural substrate of that particular enzyme. They may occupy the active site for a transient period of time as they are held by only weak forces and thus dissociate quickly. They are termed as reversible competitive inhibitors. Unlike the case of irreversible inhibition they are bound strongly via covalent interaction that does not allow the inhibitor to dissociate from the active site. The significance of such inhibition is that it can be reversed if the natural substrate can be bound to the enzyme with stronger forces or if the concentration of the natural substrate is increased.

- Can I get some help with my arrows? I have included what the final outcome needs to look like. #3arrow_forwardPlease explain how to calculate the pH.arrow_forwardI'm having trouble with converting lewis diagrams into VSEPR diagrams. I currently have this example of C2BrCl3 which I want to turn into a lewis structure, but I'm not sure what steps I need to do in order to do so. I have the table written down, however, there's two central atoms so what would I do? There seems to be 4 electron domains on the carbon atom and no lone pairs so it would seem like this shape would be tetrahedral. Here's what I have now. Thanks!arrow_forward
