- In the regulation of glycogen phosphorylase, which of the following statements is true? The inactive T form becomes activated when it gets dephosphorylated. The active R form is inhibited by glucose. Phosphoprotein phosphatase catalyzes the attachment of a phosphate group to a Ser residue in glycogen phosphorylase. The allosteric modulator glucose-6-phosphate promotes the conformation change from inactive T state to active R state.arrow_forwardATP is both an inhibitor and substrate of adenyl cyclase. As a substrate, the enzyme converts ATP to cyclic AMP only when the energy sources of cells are low. cAMP mediates the synthesis of a kinase that adds a phosphate to glycogen synthase and phosphorylase. The Km value of the active site is 3.5 x 10-5M while the Km for the allosteric site is 1.7 x 10-3M. What is the implication of the difference in Km value of the active and allosteric site in terms of the utilization of the stored sources of energy of cells?

- At body temperature, L-aspartate in proteins race-mizes to D-aspartate at an appreciable rate. Most pro-teins in the body have a very low level of D-aspartate, if itcan be detected at all. Elastin, however, has a fairly highlevel of D-aspartate. Moreover, the amount of D-aspartateincreases in direct proportion to the age of the person fromwhom the sample was taken. Why do you suppose thatmost proteins have little if any D-aspartate, while elastinhas levels of D-aspartate that increase steadily with age?arrow_forwarddecrease in cGMP inactivation of a phosphodiesterase activation of guanylyl cyclase increase in cGMP activation of adenylyl cyclasearrow_forwardIn class, I mentioned that fructose is metabolized differently in the liver compared to glucose.
