Which of the following is NOT true about metabolic pathways in general? They can be anabolic or catabolic They can be both energy-releasing (exergonic) and energy-requiring (endergonic) They are often made up of a series of chemical reactions They often have multiple different enzymes working in the same pathway Each metabolic pathway is entirely separate and does not interact or connect at all with other metabolic pathways
In hepatocytes, the enzyme glucokinase catalyzes the ATP-coupled phosphorylation of glucose. Glucokinase binds both ATP and glucose, forming a glucose-ATP-enzyme complex. The enzyme then transfers the phosphoryl group directly from ATP to glucose. Select the advantages of phosphoryl group transfer compared to hydrolysis and subsequent phosphorylation? ATP hydrolysis is thermodynamically unfavorable compared to group transfer. Glucokinase increases the transition state energy, favoring glucose phosphorylation. The process takes advantage of the high phosphoryl group transfer potential of ATP. Reaction intermediates do not need to be present in excess. Incorrect
Why must metabolic pathways be regulated? Cite three ways by which metabolic pathways are regulated.

Process Phosphorylation of a transport protein (i.e. pump) The binding of a substrate molecule at the active site of an enzyme The binding of a molecule at the active site of an enzyme, but in place of the substrate The allosteric binding of ATP to the phosphofructokinase (an enzyme part of glycolysis)
For each of the statements below about the dUTPase enzyme, mark whether it is true or false. If it is false, change the language to make the statement true. _______If the dUTPase enzyme is the rate determining step in a larger metabolic pathway, the reaction likely lies near to equilibrium and is irreversible. _______For the dUTPase reaction, it is not likely that DG’ = DG°’ _______ dUTPase has a higher affinity for its substrate than for its product, but both of these are higher than the affinity for the transition state _______Kinetic analysis of dUTPase using Michaelis-Menten methods assumes that the formation of the E*S complex has a large negative value for DG

Which of the following statements regarding enzyme catalysis is false? All options are false. Once formed, the transition state slowly proceeds to forming the product at a rate determined by cofactor binding The free energy of binding of the enzyme to the transition state is more favorable than the free energy of binding of the enzyme to the substrate The substrate and active site of the enzyme are solvated to promote enzyme-substrate interaction Once formed, the product dissociates from the enzyme after ATP hydrolysis in order to regenerate the active site
