Write a balanced equation for the hydrolysis of cyclic GMP, catalyzed by CGMP phosphodiesterase. Would you expect an inhibitor of this enzyme to potentiate or antagonize the action of Viagra? Explain.
The epinephrine-mediated “amplificationcascade” of Figure 24.14 has six steps, all of which are catalyticwith one exception. This cascade leads to the activation of glycogenphosphorylase. This enzyme acts in turn on glycogen to yieldglucose-1-phosphate (G-1-P).(a) Which step is not catalytic?(b) If each catalytic step had a turnover (molecules of substrateacted on per molecule of enzyme) of 10, how many moleculesof G-1-P would result from one molecule of epinephrine?(c) What is the biochemical advantage of such a cascade?(d) How is the amplification cascade of this questionreversed?

Considering the gluconeogenesis that may occur after removal of the amino group from amino acids, will malate be an intermediate in all such metabolic routes between amino acids and glucose? Explain. The phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) gene is more actively transcribed when glucagon is present in blood. Putting the signal cascade responsible for that activation aside for the moment, will the reaction that PEPCK mediates be in zero or first order for that increased transcription to have a maximal affect on gluconeogenesis? Explain.
