Concept explainers
Interpretation: An explanation regarding the cleavage of the given amide substrate A by chymotrypsin reveals no burst by using stopped-flow kinetic methods is to be stated.
Concept introduction: The organic compounds that contain
Proteolytic enzymes commonly known as proteases are used for the cleavage of protein. Chymotrypsin is an enzyme that is used for the cleavage of protein through hydrolysis reaction.
Answer to Problem 1P
The cleavage of the given amide substrate, A, by chymotrypsin reveals no burst because the acyl-enzyme intermediate formation occurs at a slower rate as compared to the hydrolysis for the given amide substrate.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Chymotrypsin is an enzyme that is used for the cleavage of protein through hydrolysis reaction. In case of large hydrophobic amino acids, the cleavage of the peptide bond occurs particularly at the carboxyl-terminal side. In the given amide substrate A, the cleavage by chymotrypsin shows no burst because the hydrolysis for this substrate of amide is faster than the generation of the acyl-enzyme intermediate. In other words, the acyl-enzyme intermediate formation occurs at a slower rate as compared to the hydrolysis for the given amide substrate. Hence, no burst is found. In case of ester substrates, the acyl-enzyme intermediate formation occurs at a faster rate.

Their hypothesis was that phosphocholine joined with some cellular component to yield lecithin. In an earlier experiment, incubating 32 P-labeled phosphocholine at physiological temperature (37 °C) with broken cells from rat liver yielded labeled lecithin. This became their assay for the enzymes involved in lecithin synthesis. Determine the optimal pH for this enzyme and characterize the enzyme activity at different pH values. -O-P-O-CH2-CH₁₂-N(CH3)3 Phosphocholine H₂C-O-C-R HC-O-C-R2 + + + Cell fraction + ?

They determined its structure from the following observations and experiments. (a) Qualitative analysis showed that X was composed entirely of C, H, and O. A weighed sample of X was completely oxidized and the H2O and CO2 produced were measured. This quantitative analysis revealed that X contained 40.00% C, 6.71% H, and 53.29% O by weight. (b) The molecular mass of X, as determined by mass spectrometry, was 90.00 atomic mass units (u). (c) Infrared spectroscopy showed that X contained one double bond.
