Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The factor by which an open to closed ratio increases by the binding of the firstacetylcholine molecule and the second acetylcholine molecule needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Acetylcholine act as a neurotransmitter which means, it sends messages or chemicals from one cell to another cell of the body. Acetylcholinesterase helps in stopping the excitation of a nerve cell after the transmission of impulse. In other words, this enzyme causes rapid hydrolysis of acetylcholine.
(b)
Interpretation:
The corresponding free energy contribution of the channel at
Concept introduction:
Acetylcholine act as a neurotransmitter which means it sends messages or chemicals from one cell to another cell of the body. Acetylcholinesterase helps in stopping the excitation of a nerve cell after the transmission of impulse or in other words, we can say that this enzyme causes rapid hydrolysis of acetylcholine.
(c)
Interpretation:
Whether the allosteric transition be accounted for the MWC concerted mode or not needs to be explained.

Short peptides such as legumain stabilization and activity modulation (LSAM) domain and αvβ3 integrin could enhance the activity of AEP. LSAM domain known as the prodomain of AEP blocks substrate binding before activation. This prodomain has a helical structure and two independent peptides. One is an activation peptide (AP, K287 to N323), and the other is a LSAM domain. LSAM domain remains even after AP is cleaved and released from protease at neutral pH via electrostatic interaction. AEP without LSAM domain has a lower melting temperature than AEP with LSAM domain [77, 117]. Another short peptide, αvβ3 integrin, can directly interact with AEP, and after forming a complex, the optimal pH for AEP activity is increased from 5.5 to 6.0. It indicates that αvβ3 binding could induce conformational stabilization of AEP accompanied by deprotonated C189. αvβ3 does not directly interact with the AEP active site; however, AEP docks to the αvβ3 RGD-binding site…arrow_forwardTrue or False.

- Frog poison. Batrachotoxin (BTX) is a steroidal alkaloid from the skin of Phyllobates terribilis, a poisonous Colombian frog (the source of the poison used on blowgun darts). In the presence of BTX, Na+Na* channels in an excised patch stay persistently open when the membrane is depolarized. They close when the membrane is repolarized. Which transition is blocked by BTX?arrow_forwardOnly a few. Why do only a small number of sodium ions need to flow through the Na+Na* channel to change the membrane potential significantly?arrow_forwardPlease help me with this question.

Acetylcholine is rapidly destroyed by the enzyme acetylcholinesterase. This enzyme, which has a turnover number of 25,000 per second, has attained catalytic perfection with a kcat/KMkcat / KM of 2×108 M-1s-1.2 × 10° M¯'s1. Why is the efficiency of this enzyme physiologically crucial?arrow_forward
- The Cori Cycle. Before vigorous exercise (at rest) the level of blood lactate is at its normal level (about 25 mM). During a 400 m sprint, the value rises sharply in less than a few minutes to about 200 mM and then declines slowly to around 40 mM over 60 mins after the sprint. a. Discuss (or illustrate) the pathway and reactions that cause the rapid increase in lactate concentration during the sprint. b. What causes the slow decline in lactate concentration after the sprint? Why does the decrease occur more slowly than the rapid increase? c. What enzymatic reaction is responsible for maintaining the lactate concentration above zero at recovery after the sprint?arrow_forwardNot sure about both.
