Chapter 6, Problem 6A
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
For the efficient operation of the biochemical pathway, the activity of the reactions in that pathway needs to be regulated and coordinated. In circumstances when the product of the reaction is plenty, in those situations synthesizing more products would be wastage of energy. One of these regulatory mechanisms is known as the feedback inhibition.

- In drug development, enzyme inhibition studies play a very important role since drugs are often used to target specific enzymes, as illustrated in the example of lovastatin. An important consideration when assessing drug potential is the drug's affinity for the selected target. (The higher the affinity, the better the candidate.) The K₁ is often used in studies to measure the affinity of drug candidates toward their target. Based on your understanding of K₁, which drug would be the BEST candidate for further development? Drug C: K₁= 9.1 x 107 M Drug E: K₁ = 3.5 × 10³ mm Drug D: K₁=5.5 × 10³ μM Drug B: K₁=2.5 × 10 mm Drug A: K₁=4.5 x 10 mmarrow_forwardThe concept of “induced fit” refers to the fact that: a. enzyme specificity is induced by enzyme-substrate binding. b. enzyme-substrate binding induces an increase in the reaction entropy, thereby catalyzing the reaction. c. enzyme-substrate binding induces movement along the reaction coordinate to the transition state. d. substrate binding may induce a conformational change in the enzyme, which then brings catalytic groups into proper orientation. e. when a substrate binds to an enzyme, the enzyme induces a loss of water (desolvation) from the substrate.arrow_forwardAn enzyme has the ability to catalyze reactions of several unrelated compounds.
