Question
Chapter 19.6, Problem 19.13P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Among the given compounds the competitive inhibitor for the enzyme that has p-aminobenzoate as its substrate should be identified.
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.
Enzyme inhibitors: The substance which slows or stops the action of an enzyme is called enzyme inhibitors.
It can be used as drugs and an example is AZT which is used to treat HIV.
Competitive inhibition: It is a type of inhibition occurs when the inhibitor resembles very much to the substrate and thus prevents the substrate binding.

A carboxypeptidase is a metalloenyme (its active site contains one or more metal
ions essential for the function) that catalyzes the hydrolysis of the peptide bond of the
terminal amino acid of a polypeptide chain (where the free carboxyl group occurs).
The binding of an L-alanyl-L-tyrosine peptide substrate in the active site of the
enzyme is represented in the scheme below:

NB: This scheme gives a planar representation of the spatial structure of the active
site where indicated contacts (hatched lines) are supposed to occur in the 3D
structure of the enzyme.
1- Describe the interactions that occur between the ligand and amino acid residues
of the active site.
2- What would be the impact on the Km value if we replace L-alanyl-L-tyrosine by the
following substrates: L-alanyl-L-phenylalanine; L-alanyl-L-aspartate; L-aspartyl-L-
tyrosine.
For answer (a) regarding the last row of compounds, why is the -CH-(CH3)2 not also responsible for the substrate specificity given it is also identical across the substrate and the inhibitors?
b) Why might the compound shown below act as a transition state analog of phosphoglucose
isomerase? A drawing of the normal transition state for this enzyme is needed.
