(a)
Interpretation:
The effect of PAN on archaeal proteasome activity in the absence of nucleotides should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Proteasomes are the protein complexes; whose function is to degrade the damaged proteins by the process of proteolysis. Proteolysis process breaks the peptide bonds between the amino acids. Further, the enzymes that help in this process is termed as proteases. In eukaryotes, proteasomes are found in the nucleus and cytoplasm of the cell.

You found out that this enzyme is responsible for converting glucose 1-phosphate (C6H13O9P) to glucose-6-phosphate (C6H13O9P). Based on this action, to which enzyme class does phosphoglucomutase belong? A. Ligase B. Isomerase C. Oxidoreductase D. Lyase 2. Enzymes can be regulated in a many different ways. Covalent modification is one way. Here, the functional groups are attached to or removed from the enzyme. A phosphate group is an example of a functional group that can be added to an enzyme. Depending on the enzyme, addition of a phosphate group can either increase or decrease an enzyme's activity. Evaluate the following names and identify the general name of an enzyme that functions to add phosphate groups to its substrate?

The equation describes how the reaction rate of solutes in enzymatic reactions varies with solute concentrationarrow_forwardChemiosmosis. ATP synthesis in chloroplasts is usually light dependent; it does not happen in the dark. When researchers shifted isolated chloroplasts from a low pH solution to a more alkaline (higher pH) solution, ATP synthesis occurred even in the absence of light! This was an experiment used to support the chemiosmosis mechanism of ATP formation in chloroplasts. Why? What would happen if the isolated chloroplasts were shifted to a lower pH solution? What would be the results if the above experiments were performed in the presence of light? If these experiments were performed in mitochondria instead of chloroplasts, what results would we expect?arrow_forward
- Life requires energy. In a short essay (100–150 words), describe the basic principles of bioenergetics in an animal cell. How is the flow and transformation of energy different in a photosynthesizing cell? Include the role of ATP and enzymes in your discussion.arrow_forwardin human 2. Human xanthine oxidase catalyzes the oxidation of hypoxanthine to xanthine and can further catalyze the oxidation of xanthine to uric acid. For the treatment of hyperuricemia and gout. several medications are used to inhibit the activity of xanthine oxidase and reduce the production of uric acid. You are a biochemist and just discovered a chemical that can inhibit the activity of the human xanthine oxidase. When analyzing its mode of inhibition, you found that the enzyme inhibitor complex requires 450 kJ.mol to dissociate and that it displays kinetics somehow similar to noncompetitive inhibition. You sent your inhibitor to the ministry of health for approval as a medication for gout. Based on the data provided, are they going to authorize it as a medication or not?
