Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Whether sucrose is enzyme or not has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Enzymes are proteins that serve as biological catalysts for biochemical reactions in organisms. They can enhance
(1) Hydrolase: Enzyme that catalyzes hydrolysis reaction. They can be subdivided into lipase that hydrolyzes ester bond in lipids and proteases that hydrolyze proteins.
(2) Dehydrogenase: Enzyme that catalyzes dehydrogenation reaction.
(3) Oxidases: Enzymes that catalyze oxidation reactions.
Mostly name of enzymes end with suffix
(b)
Interpretation:
Whether sucrase is enzyme or not has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(c)
Interpretation:
Whether lactose is enzyme or not has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:

(d)
Interpretation:

- In the multienzyme sequence shown below, molecules of D are able to fit to the enzyme E1 and prevent the conversion of A to B. What is this action of E called? AE1BE2CE3D a. effector inhibition b. allosteric inhibition c. feedback inhibition d. competitive inhibition by nonproductarrow_forward. Describe the lock-and-key model for enzymes. Why are the shapes of the enzyme and its substrate important in this model? What does it mean to say that an enzyme is inhibited by a particular molecule? What happens if this inhibition is irreversible? Can you think of a situation in which it might be advantageous to be able to inhibit an enzyme?arrow_forwardThe first step of the metabolic process known as glycolysis is the conversion of glucose to glucose- 6-phosphate. This process has a positive value for rG' Glucose + Pi Glucose-6-phosphate + H2O rG' = +13.8 kJ/mol-rxn This reaction is coupled to the hydrolysis of ATP ATP + H2O ADP + Pi rG' = -30.5 kJ/mol-rxn What is the sum of these two equations and the value of rG' for the coupled reaction? Is the coupled reaction product-favored at equilibrium?arrow_forward
- 1.) Did the lactase enzyme show specificity? Support your answer by comparing yor data for lactose and sucrose. 2.) How is the rate of enzyme-catalyzed conversion affected by temperature? Explain? 3.) How is the rate of enzyme-catalyzes conversion affected by acidity (ph) of the solution. Explain?arrow_forwardChemistry How is lactase enzyme activity influenced by increasing ONPG concentration?arrow_forwardQuestion:- name enzymes involve in this reaction and explain whyarrow_forward
- It is known that the amino acid at position 523 of the cyclooxygenase enzyme is part of the active site. In the isoenzyme COX-1, this amino acid is isoleucine, whereas in COX-2, it is valine. Suggest how such information could be used in the design of drugs that selectively inhibit COX-2.arrow_forward1. Why is the development of catalysis important to the development of life? 2. Why was the development of coding system important to the development of life? 3. Did symbiosis play a role in the development of eukaryotes?arrow_forwardThe enzyme d-amino acid oxidase has avery high turnover number because the d-amino acids are potentially toxic. The KM for the enzyme is in the range of 1 to2 mM for the aromatic amino acids and in the range of 15 to20 mM for such amino acids as serine, alanine, and the acidicamino acids. Which of these amino acids are the preferred substrates for the enzyme?arrow_forward
- Most living systems that we know about function best in the temperature range of 20-40 C. Knowing this, at what temperature do you think the enzyme will function optimally?arrow_forwardAs you increase the temperature of an enzyme-catalyzedreaction, the rate of the reaction initially increases. It thenreaches a maximum rate and finally dramatically declines.Keeping in mind that enzymes are proteins, how do youexplain these changes in reaction rate?arrow_forwardAn enzyme whose KM is 10-4 M in the presence of a substrate concentration of 10-2 M It is capable of transforming 20% of the substrate in 10 minutes. Calculate how much substrate is had transformed in 20 minutes.arrow_forward
