Question
Chapter 25, Problem 17P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The use of protein data bank to explore the structure and function of Glutamate synthase should be explained.
Introduction:
The inhibition of 3-enolpyruvylshikimate-5-phosphate synthase by glyphosate ends up in the generation of a compound that forms chorismite. The formation of chorismite happens through the shikimate pathway, that ends up in the assembly of the intermediate’s phosphoenolpyruvate

Consider the role of Histidine in the Serine protease mechanism and sketch a plot showing
the predicted pH profile of chymotrypsin which has a pH optimum of approximately ~8. The pk,
for the His in the catalytic triad is 7.3 in free chymotrypsin which increases to greater than 8 with
a bound peptide. Be sure to label the plot axes and indicate the pka of His on the plot,
Fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase) is a key enzyme in gluconeogenesis. The mammalian enzyme is tetrameric, negatively regulated by both Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate and AMP. Propose three (3) distinct models for how these molecules regulate FBPase activity. Also, describe how the enzyme might differentiate between Fructose 1,6 bisphosphate and Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate binding to the allosteric site on the enzyme with particular emphasis on amino acids comprising the allosteric binding site(s).

- Match the letter structures to the given description.arrow_forwardAmino transferases catalyze the transfer of amino groups to alpha-keto acids with pyridoxal phosphate as the prosthetic group. Pyridoxal phosphate can accept an amino group, and its aminated form, pyridoxamine phosphate, can donate its amino group to an alpha-keto acid. Illustrate the detailed mechanism of the transamination reaction in the active site of an aminotransferase. Use the glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase as an example.arrow_forwardWhen hyaluronan synthase from Pasteurella multocida was expressed in E. coli, the bacteria spun out a capsule of hyaluronan. This reaction was analyzed using purified membrane fragments containing the hyaluronan synthase, a radio-labeled tetrasaccharide acceptor (Part A), along with the activated forms of the sugar subunits: UDP-N-acetylglucosamine and UDP-glucuronic acid. In short incubations with the complete mixture, the tetrasaccharide primer elongated by several units, although only odd-numbered chains were visible (Part B lane 2). If one or both activated sugars were left out, the results shown in lanes 3-5 (Part B) were obtained. Why do you suppose that only odd-number chains are visible in your assay?
