Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Whether coenzyme A is chiral is to be predicted.
Concept Introduction:
Coenzymes are derived from Vitamins. They are the substance required in small amounts for the normal functioning of the body that the body cannot synthesize in adequate amounts. They are non-proteins molecules which help enzymes for catalyzing the reaction.
A carbon atom that has four nonequivalent atoms or groups attached to it is known as chiral carbon atom. Chiral carbon centers are also called as asymmetric or stereogenic centers.
(b)
Interpretation:
The names of each functional group in coenzyme A are to be stated.

(c)
Interpretation:
An explanation corresponding to the solubility of coenzyme A in water is to be stated.

- 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-arrow_forwardGramicidin S, a topical antibiotic produced by the bacterium Bacillus brevis, is a cyclic decapeptide formed from five amino acids.

- The first step in the catabolism of most amino acids is the removal of the nitrogen atom by transfer to an a-keto acid, a reaction catalyzed by an enzyme called a transaminase. The a-keto acid acceptor is often a-ketoglutarate. Modify the structures in the product to show the products of the transamination of cysteine. Be sure to show functional groups with the charge and number of attached hydrogen atoms appropriate for pH 7.4. transaminase + O=C H₂N-CH + CH₂ CH₂ CH₂ SH Incorrect H₂N || CH | CH₂ | CH₂ I || O || n | CH₂ T SHarrow_forwardKindly answer question i & iiarrow_forwardNAD is: B E) .

The commonly prescribed formulation called Augmentin is a combination of the -lactamase inhibitor shown below with amoxicillin (shown above). It is used to treat childhood ear infections when resistance is suspected, and many kids know it as the white liquid that tastes like bananas. Which of the statements below are true statements? 1. The stereochemistry of the fusion between the four-and five-membered rings in the inhibitor and amoxicillin are different. 2. The inhibitor possesses enol ether and allylic alcohol functional groups while the antibiotic possesses a phenol and a secondary amide functional group. 3. Neither the inhibitor nor the antibiotic contains strained rings. 4. Both 1 and 2 are true.arrow_forward
