Due to a sudden downturn in the California economy, the State of California decides it needs to lighten its load and also raise some cash by selling off some of its assets. It has decided that “education is overrated” (and that people can just learn anything through youtube anyway) and is considering a secret plan to sell CSUSM. Yep, the whole shebang is on sale as a package – the school, name & brand, students, buildings, land, students, team sports, even that cougar mascot (whatever its name is). As a business major who has taken finance, the Governor of California (“da Guv”) has hired you to consider and report back on how much it could get for the sale, and the pros and cons of the financial factors affecting the possible priceOne urgent factor, Pepperdine Univ has come with a “take it or leave it” offer that it is flexible to possibly may more than others, but it would need to stretch out the payments over 7 years. Da Guv wants to know is that offer worth considering at all? What factors would affect it? Should da Guv make a counteroffer that would improve the total return for the sale?

1. An enzyme has a molecular weight of 25,000. If Vmax= 80umol/min and you use 500uL of a 1mg/mL solution of enzyme, what is the turnover number?
2. In an enzyme activity assay, a 100uL assay sample containing 3.2 x 10-5 M enzyme produced an absorbance change per minute of 0.42. The molecular weight of the enzyme is 17,000 g/mol and the extinction coefficient is 6220 M-1 cm-1.
What is the activity of the enzyme?
What is the specific activity of the enzyme?

5. Glycolysis
a. The hydroxyl group on the sixth carbon on a glucose molecule is radiolabeled using O18. Please draw out the pathway showing where this radiolabel is in each step of the pathway.
b. In glycolysis, ATP molecules are produced. Please write out the reactions that utilize ATP as well as the ones that create ATP, and explain how many molecules of ATP are made in glycolysis.
c. A reaction is set up with 3-phosphoglycerate, where the phosphate atom is radiolabeled (P32) and incubated with phosphoglycerate mutase (unphosphorylated). Please draw the mechanism, and list the components of the reaction that may be radiolabeled after five minutes.
