Briefly explain the direct effect (i.e., not via hormones) glucose has on the enzyme, referring to the structure of the enzyme. b. Imagine you develop a drug that targets glycogen synthase kinase as a treatment for Type 2 diabetes. You need to determine if this drug activates or inhibits glycogen synthase kinase? What effect should the drug have on the phosphorylation state and activity of glycogen synthase? Explain in detail your decision. c. Would protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) have to be active or inactive for this drug to be effective?

Which of the following statements are True? Multiple answers: Multiple answers are accepted for this question Select one or more answers and submit. For keyboard navigation. SHOW MORE V If [1-14C) Ribose-S-phosphate is incubated with a mixture of purified transketolase- transaldolase-phosphopentose isomerase-phosphopentose epimerase and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate Fructose-6-phosphate will be labeled in the 1 and 3 positions. a Starting with Glucose 6-phosphate labelled in carbon number 1 with radioactive carbon and taken through the axidative phase of the Pentose Phosphate Pathway and the first transaldolase reaction gives rise to a 7-carbon intermediate labeled with radioactive carbon in carbon number 1. Avidin is a protein that binds extremely tight to biotin. So avidin would be a potent inhibitor of Acetyl CoA Carboxylase. The two electrons derived from the a-Ketoglutarate Dehydrogenase complex come from dihydrolipoic acid. In Fatty Acid synthesis carbon atoms 15 and 16 of Palmitic…

In 3-4 sentences, briefly explain how lactate is formed, the biological effect of lactate, and explain the biochemical process and path for conversion of lactate. 3. The hormones glucagon, epinephrine, and insulin, can regulate blood glucose levels to protect the brain. For each one provide a short explanation as to whether it raises or lowers glucose how it does this, and indicate whether it is metabolic or catabolic.
