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?

Which amino acids require a related enzyme complex, and what is the name of the enzyme?arrow_forwardProperties of an Enzyme of Prostaglandin Synthesis.Prostaglandins are a class of eicosanoids, fatty acid derivatives with a variety of extremely potent actions on vertebrate tissues. They are re-sponsible for producing fever and inflammation and its associated pain. Prostaglandins are derived from the 20-carbon fatty acid arachidonic acid in a reaction catalyzed by the enzyme prostaglandin en-doperoxide synthase. This enzyme, a cyclooxygenase, uses oxygen to convert arachidonic acid to PGG2, the immediate precursor of many different prostaglandins (prostaglandin synthesis is described in Chapter 21). a)The kinetic data given below are for the reaction catalyzed by prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase. Focusing here on the first two columns, determine the Vmax and Km of the enzyme. b)Ibuprofen is an inhibitor of prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase. By inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins, ibuprofen reduces inflammation and pain. Using the data in the first and third columns of…arrow_forwarddisease. As such, a frontline treatment for Type 2 diabetes is the drug metformin, which acts indirectly to inhibit gluconeogenesis in the liver. You are a research biochemist who would like to develop new drugs that act to directly inhibit gluconeogenesis.

- Please help me with this question. More than one answer may be correct. THe graph relating to the information is included below. The above figures show the rate of actin polymerization in the presence of various concentration of profilin (Pfn). In the top figure, flourescence intensity is a measure of total actin that has been polymerized, and this is plotted versus time in seconds. The shade of blue of the lines in the top figure correspond to the shaded blue bars representing various concentrations of profilin in the lower figure. The lower graph shows the initial rates of polymerization of actin plotted again concentration. Which of the following is true: Question 21 options: profilin in a molecular motor profilin is a promoter of actin polymerization profilin replaced G-actin in an F-actin strand and breaks the filament profilin is an inhibitor of actin polymerization profilin binds to G-actin, preventing it from polymerizingarrow_forwardReductive power.
