Chapter 5, Problem 15TYK
A biologist performed two series of experiments on lactase, the enzyme that hydrolyzes lactose to glucose and galactose. First, she made up 10% lactose solutions containing different concentrations of enzyme and measured the rate at which galactose was produced (grams of galactose per minute). Results of these experiments are shown in Table A below. In the second series of experiments (Table B), she prepared 2% enzyme solutions containing different concentrations of lactose and again measured the rate of galactose production.
Table A Reaction Rate and Enzyme Concentration
Table B Reaction Rate and Substrate Concentration
a. Graph and explain the relationship between the reaction rate and the enzyme concentration.
b. Graph and explain the relationship between the reaction rate and the substrate concentration. How and why did the results of the two experiments differ?

A multi-enzyme complex Is made up of three polypeptide chains, A, B and C. A is
associated with decarboxylase activity; B is a transacetylase, while C is a
dehydrogenase. When the protein was placed in a nonpolar solvent, then run in
PAGE, two protein bands were observed. Enzyme assays showed that one
protein band exhibited decarboxylase activity while the other has both
transacetylase and dehydrogenase activities. When the protein was also placed
in an aqueous solvent at pH 5.0, then run in electrophoresis, two protein bands
were also detected. Further enzyme assays also showed that one protein band
exhibits transacetytase activity while the other has both decarboxylase and
dehydrogenase activities.
a. What types of non-covalent interactions are possible between A, B and C?
b. Addition of urea, a reducing agent gave 4 bands in the PAGE profile with a
subsequent loss of decarboxylase activity. What could be the reason for the
observed result? Explain briefly in terms of the structure…

- create a single illustration that will interrelate or link the two opposing pathways, the Glycogenesis and Glycogenolysis. I want you to include the enzyme in each step and include some important by-products as well. From the illustration, I want you to encircle the intermediate molecule to highlight the link between the two processes. Aside from the illustration, I want you to compare and contrast the two pathways in terms of function, number of reaction steps, and usage of UTP. You can tabulate this part to make it simpler.arrow_forwardLeia wants to determine the effect of enzyme concentration on enzyme activity using potato samples and hydrogen peroxide. However, her results do not follow the theoretical trend and thus she can't draw any conclusions from the data obtained. What might have caused errors in the experiment? I.

- Idris has successfully extracted enzymatic proteins from the fish viscera (intestines and stomach). After homogenization and centrifugation, he managed to pool the crude enzyme extract. He is characterizing the enzymes. Please help Idris by answering the following questions:(a) How do I determine the protein/enzyme concentration? Please give the unit.arrow_forwardA mutation has occurred that results in phosphofructokinase not being able to bind ATP in its allosteric site. What impact will this mutation have on the production of ATP in the cell? Select one: a. If no ATP can bind to the allosteric site, then phosphofructokinase will not be able to add the phosphate to fructose-6-phosphate to make fructose-1,6-bisphosphate and glycolysis will not work. So no pyruvate, not cellular respiration. b. If ATP cannot bind to the allosteric site, phosphofructokinase will not be activated to make more ATP by substrate-level phosphorylation. c. No impact on the production but will not be able to effectively shut off over production of ATP with feedback inhibition.arrow_forwardPyridoxal phosphate (PLP) is a coenzyme for the enzyme ornithine aminotransferase. The enzyme was purified from cells grow in PLP = deficient media as well as from cells grown in media that contained pyridoxal phosphate. The stability of the two different enzyme preparations was then measured by incubating the enzyme at 37°C for different lengths of time and then assaying for the amount of enzyme activity remaining. The following results were obtained. (a) Why does the amount of active enzyme decrease with the time of incubation? (b) Why does the amount of enzyme from the PLP deficient cells decline more rapidly?arrow_forward

You have an enzyme that reacts specifically with the beta form of the sugar,and produces a signal that is easy to measure. However, every time you try to measure the amount of beta-glucose, mutarotation occurs and the alpha form of the sugar is converted into beta!! Can you suggest a simple way of overcoming this problem so you could measure only the beta form of the sugar? HINT: Is there a way you can prevent mutarotation?arrow_forwardA laboratory in Japan performed a similar experiment on earthworms from different localities of the Japanese archipelago, but instead of linking trypsin activity within worms to anatomical features, they were interested in geographical differences in the ability of the worms to breakdown environmental pollutants using the enzyme polyphenol oxidase.

You measure the rate of the reaction at this substrate concentration to be 75.0 μmol/min. Calculate the Vmax of this reaction in μmol/min. Express your answer with one decimal place. Your previous attempt suffered from low signal-to-noise ratio when you used a substrate concentration equal to the Km. So you decide to increase the substrate concentration to 0.45 mM. You remeasure the rate of the reaction at this new substrate concentration and find it to be 135.0 μmol/min. Using the same Vmax value found above, calculate the Km value of this enzymatic reaction. Express your answer in μM with one decimal place. Considering the previous two questions, what would be the rate of the reaction at a substrate concentration of 0.01 mM?
