Question
Chapter 9, Problem 3P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Whether the given reduction in activity during the mutation of Ser
Concept introduction:
Mutation is defined as the change in the sequence/order of DNA bases. It occurs due to the introduction of radiation, chemicals, or an internal disorder. Mutation may be caused by a single change in base sequence.
Subtilisin refers to a protein-digesting enzyme. It initiates the attack of nucleophile on the amide bond by a serine residue.

- . Mutants of Neurospora crassa that lack carbamoyl phosphate syn- thetase I (CPS I) require arginine in the medium in order to grow, whereas mutants that lack carbamoyl-phosphate synthetase II (CPS II) require a pyrimidine, such as uracil. A priori, one would expect the active CPS II in the arginine mutants to provide sufficient carbamoyl phosphate for arginine synthesis, and the active CPS I in the pyrimidine mutants to "feed" the pyrimidine pathway. Explain these observations.arrow_forwardThe distal Histidine (His 64) in myoglobin is subjected to three different mutations, this is one of them: H64N. (Histidine to Aparagine) For the mutation, draw a theoretical binding curve and CO relative to the O2 and CO binding curves for wild-type Mb (see example below). Provide a clear rationale for the binding curve.arrow_forwardDiisopropylphosphofluoridate (DIPF) inactivates chymotrypsin by covalently modifying serine 195. Which statement is true of DIPF's inhibitory mechanism? DIPF randomly modifies all serine residues on the protein, and if enough is added, the serine in the active site will eventually be modified. DIPF approaches serine 195 more closely than other substrates. DIPF looks like the substrate for chymotrypsin and binds in the active site as a competitive inhibitor. Serine 195 is in an environment that gives it a higher than normal reactivity with respect to DIPF.arrow_forward

- A peptide with the primary structure Lys-Arg-Pro-Leu-Ile-Asp-Gly-Ala must be synthesized by the methods developed by Merrifield. Calculate the percentage of the peptides synthesized that will be full length and have the correct sequence if the addition of each amino acid residue is 96% efficient. Do the calculation a second time but assume a 99% efficiency for each cycle. full-length peptides with the correct sequence if 96% efficient: full-length peptides with the correct sequence if 99% efficient: % %arrow_forward.

Explain the observed effect of this mutationon lysozyme stability by predicting how enthalpy (ΔH°), conformationalentropy (ΔS°peptide), and the hydrophobic effect (ΔS°solvent) are expected to change for the mutant compared to wild-type lysozyme.

- Mutational analysis of the important amino acids in the catalytic triad of serine proteases showed that replacing Asp102 or modifying His57 with amethyl group decreased the reaction rate about 5000-fold. However,mutating Ser195 decreased the reaction rate a millionfold. Discuss why mutating Ser had a larger impact than the other members of the catalytic triad.arrow_forwardEquilibrium constants are always dependent upon temperature. In determining equilibrium constants for biochemical reactions the equilibrium constant also depends upon ion concentration and proton concentration.
