Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The potential disadvantage of having many catalytic sites on one long polypeptide chain must be determined.

Concept introduction:

A multienzyme complex is an assemble of enzymes, which are the copies of one enzyme, or a cluster of many different enzymes. Its function is to catalyze one reaction or series of reaction in a given pathway. Fatty acid synthase, pyruvate dehydrogenase, glutamine synthetase, and rubisco are examples of multienzyme complexes.

The allosteric site 1). Draw a representation of an allosteric binding site of an enzyme. must bind an allosteric modifier that maintains three hydrophobic regions, a polar charged region and two regions of hydrogen bonding. You choose the order or organization of the characteristics in the allosteric site - label all regions. Details the allosteric site is composed of faces of two separate beta sheets and two separate alpha helices. You might decide that each beta sheet or each alpha helix contributes one amino acid R group to the allosteric site or you may decide that one of the beta sheets or one of the alpha helixes contributes two or more amino acid R groups to the allosteric organization. Your choice but please show R group structure in the allosteric site!
an inorganic ion. Such as metal ion, that improves the fit of an enzyme with its substrate is a(n)?
ATP. Draw an ATP molecule and have an arrow pointing to the 'high-energy' bonds. See figure 6.13 for help.
