What is true about the conformational aspects of coupling?
O The proton gradient is involved in the release of bound ATP from the synthase as a result of conformational change.
O The conformational states interconvert as a result of proton flux through the synthase.
There are two sites for substrate on the synthase and two possible conformational states: open (0) and tight-binding (T).
Dinitrophenol binds to and inhibits ATP synthase conformational changes, thus inhibiting ATP synthesis.
The Fo portion of ATP synthase acts as a rotary motor.

- Enzymes catalyze chemical reactions. What constitutes the active site of an enzyme? What are the turnover number (kcat), the Michaelis constant (Km), and the maximal velocity (Vmax) of an enzyme? The kcat (catalytic rate constant) for carbonic anhydrase is 5 × 105 molecules per second. This is a “rate constant,” but not a “rate.” What is the difference? By what oncentration would you multiply this rate constant in order to determine an actual rate of prod- uct formation (V)? Under what circumstances would this rate become equal to the maximal velocity (Vmax) of the enzyme?arrow_forwardHelp please. This question is specifically asking for the identification of the biomolecules that are attached to the sphingosine core, then we need to answer what bond causes those biomolecules to be connected to the sphingosine, what reaction created that bond (maybe addition or oxidation etc.), what were the starting materials and lastly what reagents or conditions are needed for the reaction to occur.

One observation to support this hypothesis is the appearance of adhesion molecules that are key to the development of multiceullarity. Bulk transport Gap junctions Animals. Adhesion, cell signaling Single-celled :} Insects, mammals, and other animals with bilateral symmetry (~10,000,000) Jellyfish and their relatives (10,000) } Sponges (10,000) Choanoflagellates (150) Despite their simple unicellular lifestyle they express adhesion molecules including cadherins and lectins (King et al., 2003) but don't seem to have molecules that are typically found in the extracellular matrix such as integrins or laminins (Williams et al., 2014). Design a microscopy experiment to test the assertion that choanoflagellates have (some) adhesion molecules and those molecules play a similar role in a closely related animal like sponges.arrow_forwardI. Active site analysis. Below is a diagram of a putative active site for Monoamine oxidase. As we learned, the purpose of tertiary structure is to form a scaffold so you can orient just a few amino acids in the right orientation to promote binding and/or catalysis. The position where this occurs is the active site. The amino acid architecture of an active site is designed to bind substrates. Amino acid side chains are capable of hydrogen bonding, ionic and hydrophobic interactions. Fill in each amino acid that you think is suitable for interacting with the part of the substrate it is closest to.
