Explain the biochemical importance of the components of the cholesterol biosynthetic pathway.
Gout is a medical condition usually caused by a deficiency of the salvage enzyme hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase. Uric acid accumulates in the joints and causes pain, inflammation, and in advanced disease gouty tophi. Allopurinol, an inhibitor of the enzyme xanthine oxidase, is used to treat chronic gout. Explain briefly the biochemical basis for this treatment.
The substitution of His 64 of carbonic anhydrase II with Ala results in a sharp decrease in the activity of the enzyme in HEPES buffer (molecular weight of HEPES = 238.3 g/mol). However, increasing concentrations of imidazole (molecular weight = 68.1 g/mol) restores the reaction rate close to that of the wild-type enzyme. Propose an explanation for these results.
