Chapter 6, Problem 38RE
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The kCAT/KM value that approximates the catalytic efficiency of an enzyme is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

In an enzymatic reaction, the rate of reaction depends upon the substrate concentration and the enzyme concentration. The substrate forms a complex compound by getting attached on the active site of the enzyme. The complex compound is the transition state of the reaction which, then, readily forms the desired product.

carbons in each of the structures below. For instance, the central carbon of chloromethylbutane (pictured 3. A chiral carbon is a carbon that is single-bonded to four different types of groups. Identify the chiral above) is a chiral carbon. (Can you see how the groups attached to it are all chemically different?) In each of the chiral molecules below, identify all the carbons that are chiral carbons by drawing a circle around each one of them. (a) the carbohydrate glucose H O (b) the carbohydrate fructose CH₂OH 1C H-C-OH 3 HO-C-H 4 H-C-OH 5 H-C-OH 6CH₂OH D-Glucose (linear form) (c) the amino acid leucine O O H3C. HO H H- -OH CH 3 NH2 H- -OH CH₂OH OH
We always include controls in the Annexin-V-GFP/Propidium Iodide flow cytometric assay to study apoptosis. List four types of controls in this assay.  Why do we need these controls? Explain your answers.  After the flow assay, if we like to examine the morphology of the viable, early apoptotic and late apoptotic cells by confocal microscopy, what can we do and what are the expected results?
3. (2 points) Your lab partner accidentally used a pen instead of a pencil to mark the baseline and label the lanes of their TLC plate. Briefly (1-2 sentences for each point) describe (a) what would happen to the ink when you develop the TLC plate; and (b) how this would affect the experiment. 1
