Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The effect on the rate of a pancreatic amylase-catalyzed reaction due to lowering of pH from 7 to 4 needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Amylase is an enzyme which acts as catalyst for the hydrolysis reaction of starch into sugars. It is present in the saliva of the humans where the chemical process of digestion starts.

- When the following reaction reached equilibrium the concentration of glucose 1-phosphate is 34mM, and the concentration of glucose 6-phosphate is 190mM. At standard temperatures and pressure, calculate the Keq and the ΔGo' glucose 6-phosphate <---(phosphoglucoisomerase)---> glucose 1-phosphate Keq= ΔGo' =arrow_forwardA solution of the enzyme glycogen synthase incubated at 45°C lost 70% of its activity in 3 minutes „but when incubated at 45°C in the presence of a very large concentration of its substrate UDP- Glucose, it lost only 3% of its activity in the same amount of time, Why? Clu CH,OH CH, OH HO, он CH;OH CH2OH но HO он HO UDP O-P-0 OH OH NH o--o CH, OH CH2OH CH,OH OH OH HO UDP-glucose binding makes it easier for the enzyme to unfold. The enzyme likely had phosphate groups added through covalent modification. O Interactions with the bound UDP-glucose stabilize the tertiary structure of glycogen synthase. The UDP-Glucose is a positíve effector which increases the enzyme activity.arrow_forward4. D) True or False: In order for a catalyst to function, it must exist in the same phase as the substrate.arrow_forward
- What is the function of the enzyme lactase?arrow_forwardAn uncatalyzed reaction has an equilibrium constant, Keq, of 50. In the presence of an appropriate enzyme, the forward rate of the reaction increased by 20-fold. What is the equilibrium constant in the presence of the enzyme?arrow_forwardEnzymes are specific to their substrates. How is this important?arrow_forward
- When the terminal phosphate is cleaved from the ADP molecule, the products are adenosine diphosphate and inorganic phosphate: ATP + H2O ––> ADP + Pi where Pi stands for the various forms of phosphate that exist at the pH of the particular solution. If the total concentration of Pi is 2.5 x 10–2 M, what are the concentrations of the predominant forms of phosphate that exist at pH 7.4?arrow_forwardExplain Lactase, an example of a biological catalyst ?arrow_forwardWhat is the function of the enzyme cis-trans isomerase?arrow_forward
- The AG" of the dephosphorylation of phosphocreatine is -43.0 kJ/mol. Phosphocreatine → creatine +Pi; -43.0kJ/mol When coupled to the phosphorylation of ADP to ATP (+30.5kJ/mol) ADP +Pi → ATP; +30.5 kJ/mol calculate the actual, physiological AG for the following reaction in kJ/mol: Phosphocreatine + ADP creatine + ATP at 37°C, with concentrations as follows: Phosphocreatine = 0.715 mM creatine = 0.566 mM ADP = 0.431 mM ATP = 2.382 mMarrow_forwardCorrelate the free energy of the system (reactants/transition state/product) as the enzymatic reaction progressesarrow_forwardChemistry Calculate the standard free-energy for creatine-phosphate hydrolysis in a cell where: creatine-P = 60mmol, creatine = 30 mmol, ATP = 1 mmol, ADP = 0.1 mmol. Is this reaction exer/endergonic?arrow_forward
