Which of the following statements is true about the chymotrypsin reaction? 1. The catalytic triad at the active site is formed by three residues: His, Gly, and Ser 2. When the substrate is p-Nitrophenylacetate, the rate-limiting step is the release of p-Nitrophenolate. 3. During the reaction, LBHB forms when the proton is donated to His from Ser or water. 4. The chymotrypsin reaction involves “only” specific acid-base catalysis 5. The “oxyanion hole” is formed by the amide nitrogens of Ser and Glu
The comparison of the active site geometries of chymotrypsin and subtilisin under the assumption that their similarities have catalytic signifi cance has led to greater mechanistic understanding of both these enzymes. Discuss the validity of this strategy.
In steroid synthesis, squalene is oxidizedto squalene epoxide. This reaction is somewhat unusual, in thatboth a reducing agent (NADPH) and an oxidizing agent (O2) arerequired. Why are both needed?
The mechanism involved in the reaction catalyzed by phosphoglyceromutase is known to involve a phosphorylatedenzyme intermediate. If 3-phosphoglycerate is radioactively labeledwith 32P, the product of the reaction, 2-phosphoglycerate, does nothave any radioactive label. Design a mechanism to explain these facts.
Because of the position of arsenic in the periodic table, arsenate (AsO43- ) is chemically similar to inorganic phosphate and is used by phosphaterequiring enzymes as an alternative substrate. Organic arsenates are quite unstable, however, and spontaneously hydrolyze. Arsenate is known to inhibit ATP production in glycolysis. Identify the target enzyme, and explain the mechanism of inhibition.
