Introduction
To study the physical and chemical properties of insulin, it must be separated from the mixture of protein and obtained in pure form. After each purification step involved, the purity of the fraction obtained is measured to determine if the fraction contains the insulin or not.

- 1. ANSWER A,B,C,D. PUT AN EXPLANATIONarrow_forwardAzathioprine is an immunosuppressant drug used in kidney transplants. In vivo, azathioprine is metabolized to the hypoxanthine analog 6- mercaptopurine, which is then converted into 6-mercaptopurine ribose monophosphate, the active form of the drug. 6- Mercaptopurine ribose monophosphate also inhibits de novo purine synthesis, reducing uric acid levels in the blood and urine. However, when administered to Lesch – Nyhan patients, there was no effect on uric acid levels. Explain why this is the case.arrow_forward. The following data, presented by G. Bowes and W. L.

Although most biologically relevant sugars have the D-configuration, L-fucose is a commonly observed monosaccharide component in glycoproteins. Glycosylated antibodies (IgGs) observed in patients with active TB have more fucose than those found in patients with latent TB (Lu et. al., 2016). Latent TB occurs when a person has the TB bacteria, but bacterial proliferation is kept under control by the body's immune system; hence, the infected person is asymptomatic and not infectious. A person with latent TB will test positive for the tuberculin test or TB blood test. a) L-fucose is also known as 6-deoxy-L-galactose. Note that D-galactose is a C-4 epimer of D-glucose. Draw the Fisher projections for D-glucose, D-galactose and L-fucose. (Hints: D- and L-isomers are enantiomers. 6-deoxy means that the hydroxyl group at C-6 is removed leaving just the methyl group). D-galactose: D-glucose: L-fucose (6-deoxy-L-galactose): b) L-fucose can cyclize into a pyranose and form two anomers.

- 4. Below is a Michaelis-Menten plot for a wild-type (WT) and mutant (V105A) enzyme isolated from the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus. The enzyme is involved in carbohydrate metabolism and is a potential biocatalyst for the large-scale production of rare sugars.

V105A (b) Calculate the keat and keat/KM for the wild-type and mutant enzyme based on your estimated values in (a) if the total enzyme concentration is 0.5 µmol/mg. (c) Is the mutant enzyme a more or less efficient catalyst than the wild-type enzyme? Briefly explain.arrow_forwardProteases are one of the main drug targets. Choose the False statement regarding proteases. A. Proteases are enzymes that cleave peptide bonds. B. Water is a reactant in the reaction catalyzed by proteases. C. Proteases, like all enzymes show substrate specificity, meaning they cleave only substate that fit the bonding product. D. Proteases rely on the proton transfer from NADH to the substrate. E. Protease mechanism involves only acid-base catalysis.arrow_forwardPatients with a form of early-onset diabetes were found to carry a variety of mutations reducing the function of the glucokinase (GK) enzyme. These patients are heterozygous for one of the mutations, and thus show only partial rather than complete loss of GK activity. Answer the following questions about these patients. 1. How would blood sugar levels likely be affected in GK-mutation patients? Briefly explain your choice (25 words or less) a. Higher than normal b. Normal C. Lower than normal d.
