Using the catalytic mechanism of serine proteases, draw and label a reaction coordinate diagram/graph of the chymotrypsin-catalyzed hydrolysis of a peptide bond.
When hyaluronan synthase from Pasteurella multocida was expressed in E. coli, the bacteria spun out a capsule of hyaluronan. This reaction was analyzed using purified membrane fragments containing the hyaluronan synthase, a radio-labeled tetrasaccharide acceptor (Part A), along with the activated forms of the sugar subunits: UDP-N-acetylglucosamine and UDP-glucuronic acid. In short incubations with the complete mixture, the tetrasaccharide primer elongated by several units, although only odd-numbered chains were visible (Part B lane 2). If one or both activated sugars were left out, the results shown in lanes 3-5 (Part B) were obtained. Why do you suppose that only odd-number chains are visible in your assay?

Amino transferases catalyze the transfer of amino groups to alpha-keto acids with pyridoxal phosphate as the prosthetic group. Pyridoxal phosphate can accept an amino group, and its aminated form, pyridoxamine phosphate, can donate its amino group to an alpha-keto acid. Draw the detailed mechanism of the transamination reaction in the active site of an aminotransferase. Use the glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase as an example.

Why Phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF, shown in Fig.) does not inhibit aspartate protease as potent as serine protease?
Lysine degradation requires removal of two amino groups. Removal of itsε-amino group gives a-aminoadipic semialdehyde. This product is thendegraded to acetoacetate by the same chemical strategy used to degrade thebranched-chain amino acids. Draw the proposed intermediates in this pathway (Hint: see Figure 18.14).
The mitochondrial form of carbamoyl phosphate synthetase is allosterically activated by N-acetylglutamate. Briefly describe a rationale for this effect.
Serine Proteases, such as chymotrypsin, contain Ser/Asp/His as a catalytic triad (i.e. three collaborating amino acids) of amino acids involved in enzyme catalysis. Why is this? Examine each amino acid of this catalytic triad (schematically detailed below: Ser195/Asp102/His57) and, based on your understanding of amino acid characteristics, predict what the role of each amino acid could be. His57 Ser195 Asp102
What would be the effect on the activity of phosphofructokinase of the mutation of Asp103 to the unusual amino acid shown below? Explain in terms of actual structures of the side chains of Asp and this unusual amino acid.
