Question
Chapter 25, Problem 21P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The Active Model for glutamine synthetase and the formation of the GS dodecamer should be explained.
Concept introduction:
The microorganism GS (glutamine synthetase) dodecamer found in E.coli is made from identical 52-kD monomers. They’re organized into a stack of 2 hexagons. Additionally, there are a unit twelve active sites between every chemical compound for three completely different factors:

Match the letter structures to the given description.
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,
Consider the pathway for catabolizing galactose. What are the potential control points for this pathway?

- Determine the amino acid sequence of Peptide A, which was obtained by hydrolyzing a larger peptide with trypsin, using the data below: Total hydrolysis of Peptide A produces (Ala2, Arg, Glu, Gly, Met, Pro2, Ser, Tyr). Sequential Edman degradation of Peptide A produces a derivative of Ala in the first cycle; a derivative of Serine in the second cycle; and a derivative of Proline in the third cycle. Cleavage of Peptide A with chymotrypsin yields two peptides: a tripeptide III containing Ala, Arg and Gly; and a heptapeptide IV containing Ala, Glu, Met, Pro2, Ser and Tyr. Edman treatment of tripeptide III generated a derivative of Alanine. Cleavage of Peptide A with cyanogen bromide (which cleaves peptides on the C-terminal side of Methionine) yields two pentapeptides labeled I and II. Total hydrolysis or peptide I indicate that it contains Ala, Arg, Gly, Pro and Tyr; pentapeptide II contains Ala, Glu, Met, Pro, and Ser.arrow_forwardWrite a balanced equation for the synthesis of TMP from dUMP that is coupled to the conversion of serine into glycine.arrow_forwardWhat is the difference between glutamine synthetase andglutaminase?arrow_forward
