Studies (kinetic, stereochemical, chemical modification, and site-specific mutagenesis experiments) on the enzyme triosephosphate isomerase have identified the B as Glu165 and HA as His95 (J. R. Knowles, Nature 350, 121 (1991). To aid your understanding, draw the active site as a pocket that extends into the enzyme and place the Flu and His on opposite sides of the pocket. Answer the following questions: a. Drawing of the pocket: b. How might the replacement of Glu with Asp affect the catalytic...

An experimenter performs two sets of enzyme kinetics experiments. One set of experiments, when plotted as a double-reciprocal plot, yielded a y-intercept of 0.043 μM-1·min and an x-intercept of -20.0 mM-1. A second set of experiments, when similarly plotted, yielded a y-intercept of 0.129 μM-1·min and an x-intercept of -60.0 mM-1. The second set of experiments contained 92 nM of an uncompetitive inhibitor. Given these data, what is the Ki' (in nM to the nearest tenths) for this inhibitor? Hint:...

1. When an enzyme runs a chemical reaction, what happens to the enzyme at the end of the reaction? a) it is unchanged, and can run another reaction b) it is weakened, and is slower the next time c) it becomes part of the product, and is used up d) it is permanently damaged, or destroyed 2. When an enzyme accelerates a reaction rate, what does the enzyme do, thermodynamically (energy-wise)? a)lowers the activation energy for the reaction b) allows...
