Question
Chapter 26, Problem 5P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Explanation about the ribonucleotide reductase has the capacity to convert UDP to dUDP.
Concept introduction:
Conversion of NDP to dNDP happens with the utilization of ribonucleotide enzyme to product dUDP. The dUDP will then be phosphorylated to dUTP. dUTP are often reborn to dUMP by the accelerator diphosphohydrose dUMP will then by be alkyl radical by the enzyme ethymdylate synthase to make nucleoside.

The structure of adenylate cyclase is similar to the structures of some types of DNA polymerases, suggesting that these enzymes derived from a common ancestor. Compare the reactions catalyzed by these two enzymes. In what ways are they similar?
Phosphoribosyltransferase (PRT) catalyzes the attachment of a salvaged purine nitrogenous base on the activated form of ribose-5-phosphate called 5-phosphoribosyl-
α
α-pyrophosphate (

False
Lysozyme’s use of aspartic acid and glutamic acid, to break the glycosidic bonds of the eubacterial
cell wall (composed of peptidoglycan), illustrates the common enzymatic pattern of:
hydrolysis (catabolic), using nonpolar amino acids at the active site
hydrolysis (catabolic), using polar amino acids at the active site
condensation (anabolic), using nonpolar amino acids at the active site
condensation (anabolic), using polar amino acids at the active site
all of the above

- Refer to the reaction scheme of the GAPDH catalyzed formation of 1,3-BPG. In the reaction, the nucleophile in step (4) is an inorganic phosphate molecule. The enzyme active site is elaborately constructed so that inorganic phosphate, not water, acts as the nucleophile. What advantage is gained by using inorganic phosphate, instead of water, as the nucleophile? Discuss in terms of the energy yield of glycolysis. No need to calculate the total net energy yield of glycolysis.arrow_forwardI don't understand it. Can u help me?

These bulky lesions (i.e. cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers and 6-4 photoproducts), which inhibit DNA and RNA polymerases, are mostly reversed by CPD photolyase when light >300 nm is available to power the reaction. In the dark, however, which DNA repair system is best able to correct these errors? a) non-homologous end-joining b) mismatch repairc) nucleotide-excision repaird) base-excision repair e) homology-directed repairarrow_forward
