Summary Introduction

To draw: The metabolic pathways with the help of arrows on the basis of the given statements.

Given data: The metabolic pathway is described with the help of the following statements:

1. L forms either N or M and M forms O.

2. O will form either R or P, R form S and P will form Q.

3. The reaction from L to M is inhibited by O.

4. The reaction from O to R is inhibited by S and from O to P is inhibited by Q.

The inhibition reaction should be drawn with the help of red colored arrows and a minus sign.

Introduction: The cell possesses an ability to regulate the pathways (metabolic) by controlling the activity of various enzymes. This is done by switching off or on the gene which encodes for particular enzymes. There would be occurrences of chemical chaos, if the metabolic pathways of a cell operate simultaneously, so they are operated distinctly.

Summary Introduction

To determine: Which of the given reactions from the branched metabolic pathway would prevail, if Q and S will be present in higher concentrations.

Using a series of arrows, draw the branch metabolic reaction pathway described by the following statements, and then answer the questions at the end. Use red arrows and X minus signs (-) to indicate inhibitions. The image below gives you an idea of how to start out for creating the pathway. m a. L can form either M or N b. M can form O c. O can form either P or R d. P can form Q e. R can form S f. O inhibits the reaction of L to form M g. Q inhibits the reaction of O to form P h. S inhibits the reaction of O to form R Which step(s), if any, in the above pathway above exhibit feedback inhibition? Selected Answer: Answers: f and a f, g, and hi f and a g h
For each of the statements below about the dUTPase enzyme, mark whether it is true or false. If it is false, change the language to make the statement true. _______If the dUTPase enzyme is the rate determining step in a larger metabolic pathway, the reaction likely lies near to equilibrium and is irreversible. _______For the dUTPase reaction, it is not likely that DG’ = DG°’ _______ dUTPase has a higher affinity for its substrate than for its product, but both of these are higher than the affinity for the transition state _______Kinetic analysis of dUTPase using Michaelis-Menten methods assumes that the formation of the E*S complex has a large negative value for DG
