Chapter 10, Problem 3CHI

Examine the branched pathway shown here for the synthesis of the amino acids aspartate, methionine, lysine, threonine, and isoleucine.

Scenario 1: The microbe is cultured in a medium containing aspartate and lysine but lacking methionine, threonine, and isoleucine.

Scenario 2: The microbe is cultured in a medium containing a rich supply of all five amino acids.

Chapter 10, Problem 3CHI, Examine the branched pathway shown here for the synthesis of the amino acids aspartate, methionine,

For each of these two scenarios, answer the following questions:

a. Which portion(s) of the pathway would need to be shut down in this situation?

b. How might allosteric control be used to accomplish this?

A biotechnology company discovers a bacterium isolated from waste industry that produces protease that can operate at high pH. Such protease is useful in making heavy duty detergent that has high pH catalytic condition. Thus, the company decided to produce the protease at large scale using bioreactors. a) Discuss how this is possible when the bacterium is difficult to grow and produce the protease at low level. Suggest any means to overcome these difficulties. b) Suggest what type of bioreactor and mode of culture that is suitable for the production of protease at large scale. Justify your answer.
9) Considering the enzymatic reaction catalyzed by HIV protease: Options A) hydrolysis is the net reaction observed. B) a peptide bond is cleaved on the carboxyl side of a proline residue. C) a serine residue serves as the nucleophile during the catalytic event. D) inhibitors have been designed to covalently link to the active site just like natural substrates do. E) None of the above is true. F) All of the above are true.
A decapeptide which could resist burns was isolated from an endemic plant from Mt. Mayon. Deduce the amino acid sequence of the decapeptide given the following informations. Mercaptoethanol gave two pentapeptides F1 and F2. Chymotrypsin treatment of F1 releases S and a tetrapeptide  (C,K,F,M) while F2 gave a dipeptide (M,S) and a tripeptide (C,F,K) F1 when treated with CNBr released a free homoserine lactone and a tetrapeptide. Trypsin treatment of F1 gave a tripeptide and a dipeptide. F2 treated with carboxypeptidase released free M while with trypsin gave free K and a tetrapeptide.
