Chapter 22.9, Problem 17P
Carboxypeptidase A has esterase activity as well as peptidase activity, so it can hydrolyze ester bonds as well as peptide bonds. When carboxypeptidase A hydrolyzes ester bonds. Glu 270 acts as a nucleophilic catalyst instead of a general-base catalyst. Propose a mechanism for the carboxypeptidase A-catalyzed hydrolysis of an ester bond.

- A chemically modified guanidino group is present in cimetidine (Tagamet), a widely prescribed drug for the control of gastric acidity and peptic ulcers. Cimetidine reduces gastric acid secretion by inhibiting the interaction of histamine with gastric H2 receptors. In the development of this drug, a cyano group was added to the substituted guanidino group to alter its basicity. Do you expect this modified guanidino group to be more basic or less basic than the guanidino group of arginine? Explain.arrow_forwardSeveral compounds have been found to inhibit -lactamase, and drugs based on these compounds can be taken in combination with penicillins and cephalosporins to restore their effectiveness when resistance is known to be a problem. 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_forwardA variation of the acetamidomalonate synthesis can be used to synthesize serine. The process involves the following steps: Ethoxide ion deprotonates diethyl acetamidomalonate, forming enolate anion 1; Enolate anion 1 makes a nucleophilic attack on formaldehyde, forming tetrahedral intermediate 2; Protonation of the oxyanion forms alcohol 3; Acid hydrolysis yields dicarboxyamino alcohol 4; Decarboxylation leads to the final amino acid. Write out the mechanism on a separate sheet of paper, and then draw the structure of tetrahedral intermediate 2. You do not have to consider stereochemistry. You do not have to explicitly draw H atoms. Do not include lone pairs in your answer. They will not be considered in the grading. Draw carboxyl and amino groups in their uncharged forms.arrow_forward
