Chapter 27, Problem 5P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The value of concentration of ADP and AMP if the adenylate kinase reaction is at equilibrium.

Concept introduction:

Adenylate enzyme (also called ADK or myokinase) could be a phosphotransferase catalyst that catalyzes the interconversion of purine nucleotides (ATP, ADP, and AMP). By perpetually observation phosphate ester levels within the cell, ADK plays a vital role in cellular energy physiological state.

If intracellular [ATP] = 5 mM, [ADP] = 0.5 mM, and [Pi] = 1.0 mM, calculate the concentration of AMP at pH 7 and 25°C under the condition that the adenylate kinase reaction is at equilibrium.
1E In terms of binding adenylate kinase, the Kd for ATP is ~50 M and the KI for GMP-PCP is ~50 nM. Explain how this may be possible in terms of molecular interactions. Name 4 different types of molecular interactions that may contribute to the increased binding affinity exhibited by GMP-PCP.  Please help me in details
Functional and structural analysis indicates that Gleevec is an ATPcompetitive inhibitor of the Bcr-Abl kinase. In fact, many kinase inhibitors under investigation or currently marketed as drugs are ATP competitive. Can you suggest a potential drawback of drugs that utilize this particular mechanism of action?
