. CTP synthetase catalyzes the glutamine-dependent conversion of
UTP to CTP. The enzyme is allosterically inhibited by the product,
CTP. Mammalian cells defective in this allosteric inhibition are
found to have a complex phenotype: They require thymidine in the
growth medium, they have unbalanced nucleotide pools, and they
have a mutator phenotype. Explain the basis for these observations.

- Please help me with this problemarrow_forwardI. Active site analysis. Below is a diagram of a putative active site for Monoamine oxidase. As we learned, the purpose of tertiary structure is to form a scaffold so you can orient just a few amino acids in the right orientation to promote binding and/or catalysis. The position where this occurs is the active site. The amino acid architecture of an active site is designed to bind substrates. Amino acid side chains are capable of hydrogen bonding, ionic and hydrophobic interactions. Fill in each amino acid that you think is suitable for interacting with the part of the substrate it is closest to.

I found one article that said spinach leaves can grow human tissue. So, I assume that I put the horseshoe crab blood to the spinach leaves can grow animal protein (coagulogen). Then, we use the coagulogen to produce medicine. Provide me detail steps on how to create this GMO.arrow_forwardNeed help, please.arrow_forwardPlease , Explain.arrow_forward

(i.e. understand the relationship between the three.)arrow_forwardEnzyme Investigation An enzyme was isolated from digestive juices taken from the small intestine. An experiment was set up to test the ability of the enzyme to break down protein. Two test tubes, labeled A and B, were placed in a hot water bath at 37°C, human body temperature. Test tube A contained only protein and test tube B contained protein and the enzyme. The chart below shows the set-up. After two hours, the contents of both test tubes were analyzed. Test tube A showed only the presence of protein. Test tube B showed the presence of the end products of protein digestion, indicating the enzyme had successfully broken down the protein. Identify the end products of protein digestion that made up the contents of test tube B after the two hours.arrow_forwardHow do 3D model structure of transferase enzyme works?

As the result of a storm while on a three-hour boat tour, you have found yourself on an uncharted island with several other people. The (additional) bad news is that you and your fellow castaways have become infected with a previously unknown, lethally pathogenic organism, P. Fortunately, however, you have discovered a biochemistry laboratory on the island, and you begin to study the organism. In Organism P, the ATP synthase enzyme complex can synthesize ATP using a proton gradient, and can use ATP hydrolysis to generate a proton gradient. For Organism P you measure: pHinside = 8.5, pHoutside = 7.3, and membrane potential = –110 mV.a.
