Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The factor by which the alteration in the concentration’s ratio of the enzyme molecules present in the R and T states is done with the help of the binding of single substrate molecule per enzyme molecule is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Enzymes being the catalysts increase the rate of reaction. In an enzyme-catalyzed reaction, the rate of reaction for the product formation depends on the concentration of enzyme, as well as the substrate involved in the reaction via formation of an enzyme substrate complex. The enzyme which is able to do the conformational changes if an effector gets attached to it is known as allosteric enzyme.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The ratio of the molecules of enzyme which are present in the R state with the enzyme molecules present in the T state containing the saturating amounts of the substrate is to be stated.

. Recall your study of equilibria and kinetics from general chemistry. You used equations with upper case Kand lower case k during the study of equilibria and kinetics respectively. What do the upper and lower case letters refer to?
Required partner. Aminotransferases require which of the following cofactors: a. NAD+/NADP+NAD+/NADP+ b. Pyridoxal phosphate c. Thiamine pyrophosphate d. Biopterin
Select all that apply. What is true about the conformational aspects of coupling? O The proton gradient is involved in the release of bound ATP from the synthase as a result of conformational change. O The conformational states interconvert as a result of proton flux through the synthase. There are two sites for substrate on the synthase and two possible conformational states: open (0) and tight-binding (T). Dinitrophenol binds to and inhibits ATP synthase conformational changes, thus inhibiting ATP synthesis. The Fo portion of ATP synthase acts as a rotary motor.
