Living things are over 70% water. This is central to life of earth. Explain how the structure of water directly relates to its role at the solvent of life. Include in your discussion the geometry and shape of the water molecule, the approximate angle formed within and why this angle forms, how water molecules interact with each other, and how this directly relates to its role as the principle component in living things. Also include in your description why the ability of the water molecule to ionize is important to living processes, as well as what role structured water plays in a cell. Would living things be able to be composed of 70% sand? Why or why not? Does this design of water as the perfect solvent of life speak to an all-knowing God as the creator and designer of all living things?

The PFK1 enzyme is regulated by a number of factors in the cell, including the level of ATP. ATP is not only

involved in the reaction the enzyme catalyses but also binds to an allosteric site leading to a reduction in

activity.

The binding of ATP can be measured using a fluorescently labelled derivative of ATP – TNP-ATP. The data

presented below represents the determination of the binding of ATP to PFK. The change in fluorescence (?

fluor.) represents the concentration of PFK1 with TNP-ATP bound. This value was determined at 5

different concentrations of TNP-ATP, and the experiment was carried out in triplicate.

a) Create a double reciprocal plot of this data (1/[TNP-ATP] vs. 1/ ? fluor.). Plot the data from

each experiment as a separate dataset on the same graph. Only plot the data points – do

not join data points with lines. Ensure that each dataset is distinct from the others (use

alternate colours and/or shapes for the data points).

b) Fit an equation to each dataset separately. Do not show these on your plots. For each

experiment give the fitted equation and the value of Kd. Show these in a table. Ensure you

include the units of this value. Show your working for the Experiment 1 data.

c) Determine the mean and standard deviation of the data for each concentration of TNPATP.

Show these in a table. Transform this data as you have done in (a). Fit an equation to

the transformed data. Give the fitted equation and the calculated Kd for the averaged

data. Add a trendline defined by this equation to your graph.

d) With reference the data you plotted and Kd values you determined, explain the positive

and negative aspects of using a double reciprocal plot.
