A single drop of water has the fate of ending up one day in urine. Once it has become filtrate, it contains glucose, urea, H+, amino acids, Na+, Cl-, K+, and, of course, water. Discuss what happens with each of these, within the context of the three main functions of the nephron (filtration, reabsorption, and secretion).

One of the many remarkable enzymes in the human body is carbonic anhydrase, which catalyzes the interconversion of carbon dioxide and water with bicarbonate ion and protons.

One of the many remarkable enzymes in the human body is carbonic anhydrase, which catalyzes the interconversion of carbon dioxide and water with bicarbonate ion and protons. If it were not for this enzyme, the body could not rid itself rapidly enough of the CO2 accumulated by cell metabolism. The enzyme catalyzes the dehydration (release to air) of up to 107 CO2 molecules per second. Which components of this description correspond to the terms enzyme, substrate, and turnover number?

a) Name the following (with full names): (a) The amino acid without a primary amino group

(b) An amino acid that could form a salt bridge with an Asp residue in a protein interior:

(c) The amino acid that contains sulfur that doesn’t make disulfide bonds:

(d) Name one of the three amino acids that have hydroxylated R groups:

e) Draw the structure of the tetrapeptide SKYP at a pH of 5, making sure you include the structures of all R groups and all charges and clearly indicate where they originate. Clearly indicate the net charge of the tetrapeptide. If you can’t remember one of the side chains just use R but try to indicate the charge regardless. furthermore, What would be the net charge on the molecule at pH 1 and 12? Don’t redraw the peptide, but do indicate the charges on each residue at the different pH’s so part marks can be assigned. It may help to know the following pKa values: N-terminal amino group: 8 C-terminal carboxyl group: 3.1 Lys R-group: 10.8 Tyr R-group: 10.9
