Chapter 9, Problem 16P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The mechanism corresponding to the ATPase activity of the mutated enzyme is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Enzymes being the catalysts increase the rate of reaction. In an enzyme-catalyzed reaction, the rate of reaction for the product formation depends on the concentration of enzyme as well as the substrate involved in the reaction via formation of an enzyme substrate complex. The enzyme, ATPase is known to be a terminal enzyme which is used for the oxidative phosphorylation. It is also used in the synthesis of ATP with the help of ADP and phosphate.

Biochemistry What is the process of "transamination" in either the muscles or the liver, that involves keto acid or glutamic acid? Please explain how the steps work. Thank you!
Biochemistry Please help. Thank you What is the importance of glutamic acid in the metabolism of nitrogen from amino acids? (we know therole; it’s used to remove the nitrogen from amino acids so that the remaining carbon skeleton can bebroken down by the “usual” pathways, but what is the important, unique role that only glutamicacid/glutamate can do?)
Biochemistry Please help. Thank you When carbamyl phosphate is joined to L-ornathine, where does the energy for the reaction come from?
