Using the catalytic mechanism of serine proteases, draw and label a reaction coordinate diagram/graph of the chymotrypsin-catalyzed hydrolysis of a peptide bond.
In biochemistry laboratories, phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF) is a serine protease
inhibitor commonly added to cell homogenates to protect proteins from digestion form
serine proteases that are released when cell membranes and cell organelles are
broken.

1. Based on our discussion of covalent inhibition of acetylcoline, esterase by
diisopropylfluorophosphate, predict the effect of PMSF on chymotrypsin and predict how
PMSF will modify the chymotrypsin active site. Justify your answer based on the
propertied of the active sites of the enzymes.
Polyethylene glycol (PEG)-conjugated IFNs have superior pharmaceutical properties compared with their unconjugated counterparts as a result of greater protection against proteolytic degradation, better solubility, and slower catabolism and excretion.

- Why is de novo biosynthesis of purines markedly elevated in patients with a deficiency in hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (HGPRT)? 5-Fluoruracil is converted to methotrexate by a DPD deficiency, leading to increased purine biosynthesis. HGPRT deficiency prevents purine salvage, leading to increased purine biosynthesis to make up for it. HGPRT increases pyrimidine salvage and thereby increases purine biosynthesis as a result. Increased purine biosynthesis is the result of ATP hydrolysis during the production of cyclic AMP.arrow_forwardConsider the metabolic pathway show below that converts substrate A to B with the enzyme A-ase, B to C with B-ase(I), and so forth.

- The enzyme cytidine deaminase catalyzes the conversion of cytidine to uridine. Cytidine deaminase catalyzes the reaction through an addition of water across the cytidine 3,4-bond, forming a tetrahedral intermediate followed by the elimination of NH3 to form the product uridine. This is like the addition-elimination mechanism that we studied for adenosine deaminase. Cytidine deaminase НО.
