- Which of the following is incorrect about chymotrypsin, trypsin, and elastase? a. They catalyze the hydrolysis of the peptide bond b. They have similar amino acid sequences and tertiary structures c. None; all the other choices are correct Od. They have different substrate binding sitesarrow_forwardDownstream actions of enzymes generate C22:4 Δ 7,10,13,16 and C22:5 Δ 7,10,13,16,19, which are converted to final products C22:5 Δ 4,7,10,13,16 and C22:6 Δ 4,7,10,13,16,19 . a. Draw out the pathways described above. Provide accurate line drawings for each lipid described b. For each step, identify if an elongase and/or desaturase is used. If a desaturase is used, indicate the type (for example 9 desaturase). c. For each step indicate whether the parasite could be using an enzyme from the human host to complete the step. Briefly justify your choices. d. This pathway is being considered as a parasite-specific target for drugs (to treat parasitic infections).

- Select all FALSE statements about allosteric enzymes. a. They interconvert between a more active form and a less active form. b. They tend to have a hyperbolic curve of ?0 vs. [S]. c.They conform to Michaelis–Menten kinetics. d. They are generally small single subunit proteins. e. They may have binding sites for regulatory molecules that are separate from active sites.arrow_forwardWhich of the statements below regarding glyphosate are true? (Choose all true statements) A.Glyphosate interacts with EPSP synthase because it resembles the substrate S-3P B.The interaction of S-3P is necessary for glyphosate binding. C.Glyphosate likely binds to both conformations of EPSP synthase shown in question 7. D.Glyphosate decreases Km for S-3P and thus likely the increases the affinity of the enzyme for substrate E.Glyphosate likely increases feedback inhibition by the product of the reaction EPSParrow_forward
