Chapter 21, Problem 43P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The reason the proteins are not visible in the lanes without amylase treatment should be discussed.

Concept introduction:

Alpha-amylase catalyzes the hydrolysis of alpha linkages in polysaccharides and release glucose and maltose. Glycogenin is an enzyme which catalyzes the formation of short glycogen primers from glucose molecules.

SDS-PAGE is a biochemical technique used to separate charge molecules in a mixture, according to their molecular masses. SDS acts as a surfactant and gives negative charge to the proteins. Thus it allows the protein separation only based on their molecular mass. Western blot is a visualizing technique which is commonly used to analyze proteins in a given sample via SDS-PAGE.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The effect of treating the sample with a-amylase should be explained.

Concept introduction:

Alpha-amylase catalyzes the hydrolysis of alpha linkages in polysaccharides and release glucose and maltose. Glycogenin is an enzyme which catalyzes the formation of short glycogen primers from glucose molecules.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The list of other glycogen associated proteins and the reasons for their absence in SDS-PAGE should be discussed.

The preferred substrate is T because the enzyme half-saturates at 7.00 mM for T, but requires 28.0 mM for U, and 112 mM for S. b Question Content Area The rate constant k 2 with substrate S is 9.60×107 sec-1, with substrate T, k 2 = 6.00×104 sec-1, and with substrate U, k 2 = 2.40×106 sec-1. Calculate the catalytic efficiency with S, T, and U. Catalytic efficiency with S =  Catalytic efficiency with T =   Catalytic efficiency with U =   Does enzyme A use substrate S, substrate T, or substrate U with greater catalytic efficiency?
Fumerase catalyzes the conversion of fumerate to malate. fumerate + H2O ⇋ malate The turnover number, kcat, for fumerase is 8.00×102 sec-1. The Km of this enzyme for fumerate is 5.00×10-3 μmol mL-1.   a   In an experiment using 2.00×10-3 μmol·mL-1, what is Vmax?
Suppose you wanted to make a buffer of exactly pH 7.00 using KH2PO4 and Na2HPO4. If the final solution was 0.18 M in KH2PO4, you would need 0.25 M Na2HPO4. Now assume you wish to make a buffer at the same pH, using the same substances, but want the total phosphate molarity ([HPO42−]+[H2PO−4]) to equal 0.20 M. What concentration of the Na2HPO4 would be required?
