Chapter 24.5, Problem 13P
The enzyme that catalyzes the Cα → Cβ bond cleavage reaction that converts serine to glycine removes the substituent (R) bonded to the α-carbon in the first step of the reaction. Starting with PLP bound to serine in an imine linkage, propose a mechanism for this reaction.(Hint: The first step involves removal of the proton from serine’s OH group.)

The first step in the catabolism of most amino acids is the removal of the nitrogen atom by transfer to an a-keto acid, a reaction
catalyzed by an enzyme called a transaminase. The a-keto acid acceptor is often a-ketoglutarate. Modify the structures in the
product to show the products of the transamination of cysteine. Be sure to show functional groups with the charge and number of
attached hydrogen atoms appropriate for pH 7.4.

Researchers analysed a glycopeptide (a peptide carrying one or several oligosaccharide
groups) and determined both the sequence of the peptide and the sequence of the sugar molecule. The
latter was identified as a diholoside coupled to the peptide by an osidic bond. The systematic name
of this sugar is:
B-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-ß-D-galactopyranose.
: Represent the chemical formula of this diholoside in a way that all oses are

represented according to the Haworth convention. Apart from the furane and/or pyrane cycles all
atoms of this molecule must be given.
