Chapter 27, Problem 14P

(a)

Summary Introduction

To explain: The features of tRNAAla which are recognized by Ala-tRNA synthetase.

Introduction:

RNA (ribonucleic acid) is a nucleic acid and acts as the genetic material in viruses. It performs various other functions such as coding, decoding, expression of genes, and regulation. One of the types of RNA is tRNA (transfer RNA).

(b)

Summary Introduction

To describe: Consequence of C→G mutation in third position of anticodon of tRNAAla.

Introduction:

There are twenty amino acids which are coded by 64 codons. So it is obvious that there are certain amino acids which are coded by more than one codon. This property is known as degeneracy of codons.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To describe: Other kinds of mutations that would result in insertion of proline in place of alanine.

Introduction:

Mutation is the alteration in the sequence of the nucleotide of genome of extrachromosomal DNA, virus or an organism. Mutations can be insertion, deletion or substitution of one or more nucleotide base. In substitution mutation, single nucleotide is exchanged for another nucleotide.

(d)

Summary Introduction

To describe: The reason behind the absence of this type of mutation in natural population.

Introduction:

Mutation is the alteration in the sequence of the nucleotide of genome of extrachromosomal DNA, virus or an organism. Mutations can be insertion, deletion or substitution of one or more nucleotide base. In substitution mutation, single nucleotide is exchanged for another nucleotide.

The preferred substrate is T because the enzyme half-saturates at 7.00 mM for T, but requires 28.0 mM for U, and 112 mM for S. b Question Content Area The rate constant k 2 with substrate S is 9.60×107 sec-1, with substrate T, k 2 = 6.00×104 sec-1, and with substrate U, k 2 = 2.40×106 sec-1. Calculate the catalytic efficiency with S, T, and U. Catalytic efficiency with S =  Catalytic efficiency with T =   Catalytic efficiency with U =   Does enzyme A use substrate S, substrate T, or substrate U with greater catalytic efficiency?
Fumerase catalyzes the conversion of fumerate to malate. fumerate + H2O ⇋ malate The turnover number, kcat, for fumerase is 8.00×102 sec-1. The Km of this enzyme for fumerate is 5.00×10-3 μmol mL-1.   a   In an experiment using 2.00×10-3 μmol·mL-1, what is Vmax?
Suppose you wanted to make a buffer of exactly pH 7.00 using KH2PO4 and Na2HPO4. If the final solution was 0.18 M in KH2PO4, you would need 0.25 M Na2HPO4. Now assume you wish to make a buffer at the same pH, using the same substances, but want the total phosphate molarity ([HPO42−]+[H2PO−4]) to equal 0.20 M. What concentration of the Na2HPO4 would be required?
