(a)
Interpretation:
The effect on the rate of a pancreatic amylase-catalyzed reaction due to lowering of pH from 7 to 4 needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Amylase is an enzyme which acts as catalyst for the hydrolysis reaction of starch into sugars. It is present in the saliva of the humans where the chemical process of digestion starts.

- The reaction pyruvate + NADH+H. 1 lactate + NAD is catalyzed by the enzyme lacate dehydrogenase. Suppose this reaction in the presence of some lactate dehydrogenase results in the production of 30 umol per minute of lactate when the concentration of puyruvate is 2 mmol per liter. If the concentration of pyruvate is doubled to 4 mmol per liter, how will the rate of production of lactate change? O it will double to 60 µmol per minute l O it will remain the same at 30 umol per minute it will halve to 15 umol per minute can't tellarrow_forwardWhen the following reaction reached equilibrium the concentration of glucose 1-phosphate is 34mM, and the concentration of glucose 6-phosphate is 190mM. At standard temperatures and pressure, calculate the Keq and the ΔGo' glucose 6-phosphate <---(phosphoglucoisomerase)---> glucose 1-phosphate Keq= ΔGo' =arrow_forwardA solution of the enzyme glycogen synthase incubated at 45°C lost 70% of its activity in 3 minutes „but when incubated at 45°C in the presence of a very large concentration of its substrate UDP- Glucose, it lost only 3% of its activity in the same amount of time, Why? Clu CH,OH CH, OH HO, он CH;OH CH2OH но HO он HO UDP O-P-0 OH OH NH o--o CH, OH CH2OH CH,OH OH OH HO UDP-glucose binding makes it easier for the enzyme to unfold. The enzyme likely had phosphate groups added through covalent modification. O Interactions with the bound UDP-glucose stabilize the tertiary structure of glycogen synthase. The UDP-Glucose is a positíve effector which increases the enzyme activity.arrow_forward
- An uncatalyzed reaction has an equilibrium constant, Keq, of 50. In the presence of an appropriate enzyme, the forward rate of the reaction increased by 20-fold. What is the equilibrium constant in the presence of the enzyme?arrow_forwardWhen the terminal phosphate is cleaved from the ADP molecule, the products are adenosine diphosphate and inorganic phosphate: ATP + H2O ––> ADP + Pi where Pi stands for the various forms of phosphate that exist at the pH of the particular solution. If the total concentration of Pi is 2.5 x 10–2 M, what are the concentrations of the predominant forms of phosphate that exist at pH 7.4?arrow_forwardExplain Lactase, an example of a biological catalyst ?arrow_forward
- Determine the direction that each of the reactions will progress. Assume that the reactants and products are present in equimolar amounts. The standard free energy of hydrolysis of ATP is –30.5 kJ/mol. fructose+ATP ____fructose 6‑phosphate+ADP The standard free energy of hydrolysis for fructose 6‑phosphate is −15.9 kJ/mol. 3‑phosphoglycerate+ATP___1,3‑bisphosphoglycerate+ADP The standard free energy of hydrolysis for 1,3‑bisphosphoglycerate is −49.3 kJ/mol. creatine+ATP___creatine phosphate+ADP The standard free energy of hydrolysis for creatine phosphate is –43.0 kJ/mol.arrow_forwardWhat is the function of the enzyme cis-trans isomerase?arrow_forwardChemistry Calculate the standard free-energy for creatine-phosphate hydrolysis in a cell where: creatine-P = 60mmol, creatine = 30 mmol, ATP = 1 mmol, ADP = 0.1 mmol.
