- Consider the role of Histidine in the Serine protease mechanism and sketch a plot showing the predicted pH profile of chymotrypsin which has a pH optimum of approximately ~8. The pk, for the His in the catalytic triad is 7.3 in free chymotrypsin which increases to greater than 8 with a bound peptide. Be sure to label the plot axes and indicate the pka of His on the plot,arrow_forwardUsing the ActiveModel for phosphofructokinase (Trypanosoma), describe the difference between the APO1, AP02, and holoenzyme conformations.arrow_forwardb. Compounds A, B, C, and D are known to be intermediates in the pathway for production of protein E. To determine where the block in protein-E production occurred in each individual, the various intermediates were given to each individuals cel Is in culture. After a few weeks of growth with the intermediate, the cells were assayed for the production of protein E. The results for each individuals cells are given in the following table. A plus sign means that protein E was produced after the cells were given the intermediate listed at the top of the column. A minus sign means that the cells still could not produce protein E even after being exposed to the intermediate at the top of the column. Denote the point in the pathway in which each individual is blocked.arrow_forward

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.

Residues Asp 101 and Arg 114 are required for efficient catalysis, although they are located at some distance from the active site Glu 35 and Asp 52. Substituting Ala for either Asp 101 or Arg 114 does not significantly alter the enzyme's tertiary structure, but significantly reduces its catalytic activity.
