In one type of hemoglobin mutant the amino acid change generates a strong ionic interaction stabilizing the T state conformation, but only under conditions of lower pH, e.g., at pH 7.2 compared to pH 7.6. Explain what effect this mutation would have on the amount of O2 delivered to the tissue. More O2 delivered to the tissue because the R-T equilibrium would be shifted to the T state in tissues. More O₂ delivered to the tissue because the R-T equilibrium would be shifted to the T state in lungs. Less O2 delivered to the tissue because the R-T equilibrium would be shifted to the T state in lungs. Less O₂ delivered to the tissue because the R-T equilibrium would be shifted to the T state in tissues. More O2 delivered to the tissue because the R-T equilibrium would be shifted to the R state in tissues.
1E In terms of binding adenylate kinase, the Kd for ATP is ~50 M and the KI for GMP-PCP is ~50 nM. Explain how this may be possible in terms of molecular interactions. Name 4 different types of molecular interactions that may contribute to the increased binding affinity exhibited by GMP-PCP. Please help me in details
If intracellular [ATP] = 5 mM, [ADP] = 0.5 mM, and [Pi] = 1.0 mM, calculate the concentration of AMP at pH 7 and 25°C under the condition that the adenylate kinase reaction is at equilibrium.
The interconverison of DHAP and GAP greatly favors the formation of DHAP at equilibirum. Yet the conversion of DHAP by triose phosphate isomerase proceeds readily. Why?
Acid phosphatases are an important group of enzymes that can be detected in human bloodserum. Under slightly acidic conditions (pH 5.0), this group of enzymes can hydrolyzebiological phosphate esters as follows:R-O-P-O3-2 + H2O -----> R-OH + HO-P-O3-2Acid phosphatases are produced and can be detected in erythrocytes, kidney, spleen, the liver,and prostrate gland. The enzyme from the prostrate gland is clinically important because anincreased activity in the blood is frequently an indication of cancer of the prostrate gland.Tartrate ion can strongly inhibit the phosphatase from the prostrate gland, but not acidphosphatases from other tissues. How can you use the information above to develop a specific procedure for measuring the activity of the acid phosphatase of the prostrate gland in humanblood serum?
The mutation in hemoglobin at β82 Lys→Asp results in lowered O2-bindingaffinity compared to normal hemoglobin. β82 is one of the residues thatlines the 2,3-BPG binding site (as shown; β82 is adjacent to His 143). Based on the location of this residue and the differences between Lys and Asp, suggest a rationale for the observed reduction in O2-binding affinity.
Disulfide bond formation is a regularly observed protien modification that occurs in the lumen of the ER. Explain why disulfifde bond formation is a modification only found in secretory proteins and the extracellular domain of plasma membrane proteins. Furthermore, highlight the advantages disulfide bonds provide to these proteins.
A genetic defect in coagulation factor IX causes hemophilia b, a disease characterized by a tendency to bleed profusely after very minor trauma. However, a genetic defect in coagulation factor XI has only mild clinical symptoms. Explain this discrepancy in terms of the mechanism for activation of coagulation proteases shown in Box.
How is cigarette smoking related to elastase function? Methionine sulfoxide is formed by cigarette smoke in the antitrypsin protein, which leads to the full manifestation of the disease in individuals heterozygous for emphysema. Oxidation of methionine 358 by cigarette smoke of the elastase inhibitor active site leads to an increased inhibition of elastase and subsequent overaccumulation of mucus in the lungs. The inhibitor of elastase is axidized by cigarette smoke so elastase doesn't function properly in healthy individuals. Cigarette smoke modifies the elastase methionine residues such that the enzyme activity is blocked.

Given the mutation in Hb Great Lakes, Leu(B68)His, show on either O2 binding plot whether its p(O2)50% will be altered in the presence of a 10-fold excess of BPG and in which direction with respect to that of HbA.

Intramitochondrial ATP concentrations are about 5 mM, and phosphate concentration is about 10 mM. If ADP is five times more abundant than AMP, calculate the molar concentrations of ADP and AMP at an energy charge of 0.85. Calculate AG for ATP hydrolysis at 37 °C under these condi- tions. The energy charge is the concentration of ATP plus half the concen- tration of ADP divided by the total adenine nucleotide concentration: [ATP] + 1/2[ADP] [ATP] + [ADP] + [AMP]
The enzyme mutase which is important for the synthetic of tyrosine and phenylalanine in saccharomyces cerevisiae has been studied as an example of an allosteric enzyme. Tyrosine acts as a negative effector for this enzyme. What effects would you see on the action of the enzyme were you to increase the concentration of tyrosine? The chorismate mutase would shift to its R conformation The curve showing the kinetics or chorismate mutase would shift to the right The curve showing the kinetics of chorismate mutase would shift to the left The chorismate mutase would become saturated more rapidly
