Chapter 8, Problem 27P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The number of moles of substrate that are hydrolyzed per second per milligram of enzyme when the substrate concentration is much greater than Km.

Concept introduction:

The region of the enzyme to which substrate molecules binds is known as the active site. The binding of substrate with the active site converts it into product molecules. Turnover number is the maximum number of substrate molecules that can be converted into products per catalytic site.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The moles of active site in 1 mg of enzyme.

Concept introduction:

The region of the enzyme to which substrate molecules binds is known as the active site. The binding of substrate with the active site converts it into product molecules. Turnover number is the maximum number of substrate molecules that can be converted into products per catalytic site.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The turnover number of the enzyme.

Concept introduction:

The region of the enzyme to which substrate molecules binds is known as the active site. The binding of substrate with the active site converts it into product molecules. Turnover number is the maximnumber of substrate molecules that can be converted into products per catalytic site.

ATP yield. Each of the following molecules is processed by glycolysis to lactate. How much ATP is generated from each molecule?
Required partner. Aminotransferases require which of the following cofactors: a. NAD+/NADP+NAD+/NADP+ b. Pyridoxal phosphate c. Thiamine pyrophosphate d. Biopterin
disease. As such, a frontline treatment for Type 2 diabetes is the drug metformin, which acts indirectly to inhibit gluconeogenesis in the liver. You are a research biochemist who would like to develop new drugs that act to directly inhibit gluconeogenesis. You have just gained access to a library of thousands of small molecules of unknown activity, and you would like to identify lead compounds that have specific inhibitory activity against steps in the gluconeogenesis pathway. (a) into PEP in order to screen for inhibitors of enzymes specific to gluconeogenesis. Which enzymes do you need to purify, what cofactors and allosteric effectors do they require, and which reactants do you need to add to reconstitute the reactions for the first bypass? Which intermediates and products are generated? Your first approach is to reconstitute the initial set of bypass reactions that convert pyruvate (b) vitro reconstitution? What additional steps and enzymes are required in liver cells but are…
