Question
Chapter 25.4, Problem 25.1CIAP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The chemical changes in the conversion of adenosine to xanthine have to be given.
Concept introduction:
Uric acid is the end product of the breakdown of purine nucleosides and urate ion is formed by the loss of its acidic hydrogen. After a number of enzymatic steps, adenosine produces xanthine which is then converted to uric acid.
Gout is the condition by which the uric acid production increases and the treatment of gout relies on allopurinol. Allopurinol is a structural analog of hypoxanthine which is a precursor of xanthine in the formation of urate.

why is chymotrypsin inactive at high pH?
A decapeptide was isolated from a thermophilic bacteria. Treatment of this peptide with 2- mercaptoethanol gave 2 pentapeptides. Further analysis of this peptide gave the following data:
Trypsin: (M,Y), (K,Y,M), (K, 2A, 2C)
Chymotrypsin: (2K, 2A, 2C, Y), (M), (Y,M)

This accumulation causes symptoms such as a tall, thin frame, flushed cheeks, and osteoporosis (thinning of the bones). These individuals should limit their intake of proteins that contain methionine, such as egg whites. Using your understanding of biochemistry, explain why people with Homocystinuria should not consume egg whites and other such proteins.arrow_forward

The active drug is the dicarboxylic acid (“enalaprilat”) that results from this hydrolysis reaction.(a) Enalapril is administered in pill form, but enalaprilat must be administered intravenously. Why do you suppose enalapril works as a pill but enalaprilat does not? (b) Enalaprilat is a competitive inhibitor of the angiotensin-convertingenzyme (ACE), which cleaves the blood-pressure regulating peptideangiotensin I. ACE has a KM = 52 μM for angiotensin I, which is presentin plasma at a concentration of 75 μM. When enalaprilat is presentat 2.4 nM, the activity of ACE in plasma is 10% of its uninhibitedactivity.
