You happen to pass a bar. Distracted by your entrance into the bar, one of the humans inadvertently drank a beverage containing 80 ml methanol. Unfortunately, no medical personnel are on the station, and you do not have access to sickbay. Assume that methanol and ethanol have densities of 0.79 g/ml, and that the alcohols distribute themselves rapidly over the total volume of 73 liters of body fluids of your host. A quick check of the biochemistry textbook that you always carry with you when traversing the promenade reveals that the Km of alcohol dehydrogenase for ethanol is 1 mM and for methanol the Km is 10 mM, and reminds you that alcohol dehydrogenase converts ethanol into acetaldehyde (which can then be converted to acetyl-CoA). Alcohol dehydrogenase also converts methanol into formaldehyde, which is quite toxic to humans. Ingesting 80 ml of methanol will permanently harm the human unless you intervene.b. Someone has a single 600 ml bottle of Romulan ale (52% ethanol), which he is…
Bohr for me, not for thee. Does myoglobin exhibit a Bohr effect? Why or why not?
(No more than one page). Explain why quaternary structure is necessary for cooperativity and allosteric regulation. Use hemoglobin as an example. Include the various allosteric effectors that influence oxygen binding.

- Animals breathe in oxygen. What is this atmospheric oxygen used for in the human body? (Give the name of the process where atmospheric oxygen is used and explain what happens to the atmospheric oxygen molecule.)arrow_forwardNo free lunch. Explain why maintaining a high concentration of CO2 CO2 in the bundle-sheath cells of C4C4 plants is an example of active transport. How much ATP is required per CO2CO2 to maintain a high concentration of CO2CO2 in the bundle-sheath cells of C4C4 plants?arrow_forwardComparison of Fetal and Maternal Hemoglobins.Studies of oxygen transport in pregnant mammals show that the O2-saturation curves of fetal and maternal blood are markedly different when measured under the same conditions. Fetal erythrocytes contain a structural variant of hemoglobin, HbF, consisting oftwo a and two g subunits (α2γ2), whereas maternal erythrocytes contain HbA (α2β2). a)Which hemoglobin has a higher affinity for oxygen under physiological conditions, HbA or HbF? Explain. b)What is the physiological significance of the different O2 affinities? c)When all the BPG is carefully removed from samples of HbA and HbF, the measured O2-saturation curves (and consequently the O2affinities) are displaced to the left. However, HbA now has a greater affinity for oxygen than does HbF. When BPG is reintroduced, the O2-saturation curves return to normal, as shown in the graph. What is the effect of BPG on the O2affinity of hemoglobin? How can the above information be used…arrow_forward

Where does this carbon dioxide come from in the human body? Give the name of the processes where carbon dioxide is produced and explain how it is produced.arrow_forwardEnzymes 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_forward
- Fo-F1 ATPase. The energy for ATP synthesis from ADP and Pi is provided by the downhill transport of protons through the rotary FoF1 ATP synthase (lecture 22). The enzyme has 3 a-b and 12 ‘c’ subunits. The mitochondrion maintains Df=180 mV (negative inside), pHin = 8, pHout=7, [Pi] = 3 mM and ADP is present as well. How much energy is available (from the proton electrochemical gradient) for ATP synthesis under these conditions (in kJ/mol)? What [ATP]/[ADP] ratio will be established at steady-state under these conditions? What would be the [ATP]/[ADP] ratio if the enzyme had only 9 ‘c’ subunits? Remember that full revolution of the crank (gamma subunit) produces 3 ATP.arrow_forwardFo-F1 ATPase.
