Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The substrate for the enzyme, pyruvate carboxylase has to be stated.
Concept introduction: The compound that acts as a catalyst for a biochemical reaction is called enzyme. The human body contains different enzymes because every reaction in a cell needs a specific enzyme.
(b)
Interpretation: The substrate for the enzyme, alcohol dehydrogenase has to be stated.
Concept introduction: The compound that acts as a catalyst for a biochemical reaction is called enzyme. The human body contains different enzymes because every reaction in a cell needs a specific enzyme.
(c)
Interpretation: The substrate for the enzyme, L-amino acid reductase has to be stated.
Concept introduction: The compound that acts as a catalyst for a biochemical reaction is called enzyme. The human body contains different enzymes because every reaction in a cell needs a specific enzyme.
(d)
Interpretation: The substrate for the enzyme, maltase has to be stated.

- Why is triose phosphate isomerase considered to be catalytically perfect?arrow_forwardSeveral names are compatible with standard nomenclature for the enzyme that catalyzes the reaction shown in the figure. However, the assigned name is based specifically based on its substrate and its coenzyme. What is that name?arrow_forwardLysozyme is an antibacterial enzyme found in animals. Residues Asp 101 and Arg 114 are required for efficient catalysis, although they are located at some distance from the active site Glu 35 and Asp 52. Substituting Ala for either Asp 101 or Arg 114 does not significantly alter the enzyme's tertiary structure, but significantly reduces its catalytic activity. Explain.arrow_forward
- UDP-glucuronosyltransferase enzymes bind the organic compound UDP-glucuronic acid (UDP-GA) in order to catalyse the transfer of a glucuronic acid group from UDP-GA to a drug molecule, releasing UDP from the active site as a product. UDP is then regenerated by the activity of another enzyme. What terms could be used to describe UDP-GA?arrow_forwardWhat are the nonoxidative reactions of the pentose phosphate pathway, and why are they important?arrow_forwardwhat will be the effect of hot dry conditions in the carboxylase activity of RuBisCO?arrow_forward
- What is ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC)deficiency ?arrow_forwardWhat is the difference between glutamine synthetase andglutaminase?arrow_forwardWhat is the complete name of the following sugar? но он носн он Write out the words alpha and beta. This question is case-sensitive. Capitalize only the configuration designation, D or L, example: beta-D-glucopyranose.arrow_forward
