Question
Chapter 13, Problem 29P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The effect of the mutation on channel function 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 or in other words, one can say that this enzyme causes rapid hydrolysis of acetylcholine.

Protein purification table: A 50 ml crude skeletal muscle extract contains 32mg of protein per ml. Ten ul of
the extract catalyzes a reaction at a rate of 0.14 µmol product per minute. The extract was fractionated by
ammonium sulfate precipitation, and the fraction precipitating between 20% and 40% saturation was
dissolved in 10ml. The solution contains 50mg/ml protein. Ten ul of this purified fraction catalyzes the
reaction at a rate of 0.65 µmol/min
(a) What is the degree of purification (fold purification)?
(b) What is the percent yield of the enzyme recovered in the purification?

QS 4 Why is the resting membrane potential a negative value? And how do you determine resting membrane potential?
Speed and efficiency matter. 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?
