Neostigmine is an inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase. The enzyme attempts to catalyse the same reaction on neostigmine as it does with acetylcholine. However, a stable intermediate is formed which prevents completion of the process and which results in a molecule being covalently linked to the active site. Identify (draw) the stable intermediate and explain why it is stable.
An enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of an ester with a
certain activity, but this activity is lost in a 3 M urea
solution. What is the most likely explanation for the loss
of activity?
(A) Urea binds to the active site of the enzyme
competitively with the substrate.
(B) Urea causes the cleavage of the peptide bonds in the
enzyme.
(C) Urea causes the enzyme to denature and lose its
specific three-dimensional shape.
(D) Urea reacts with disulfide bonds in the enzyme.
lodoacetamide acts as an irreversible inhibitor for a few enzymes by reacting with the amino acid at the active site having the function group
-NH_2
-COOH
-SH
-OH
