100

Tryptophan residues in lectins interact with carbohydrates

the side chains of tryptophan residues are hydrophobic and carbs are generally hydrophillic
100

Order the following compounds from fastest-slowest and transport rate across the lipid membrane:

Urea, Butyramide, Acetamide

Butyramide, Acetimide, Urea

100

Describe lyase

forms double bonds by removing groups

100

Name the 6 types of enzymes

oxidoreductase

transferases

hydrolases

lyases

isomerases

ligases

100

Serine protease specificities from trypsin, chymotrypsin, Elastaes

Trypsin (arg, lys)

Chymotrypsin (Phe, Trp, Tyr)

Elastase (Ser, Val)

200

Which has a lower melting point cis, trans conformation

cis

200

Describe carrier proteins 

they transport substances down a concentration gradient and are selective towards what they transport

200

What would a 100 fold rate enhancement require if delt G double dagger is 5.7 kj/mol

11.4 kJ/mol

200

Describe oxidoreductases

REDOX reactions

200

What is the catalytic triad?

Ser, His, Asp 

located in the active site help with orientation of the serine protease mechanism

300

BPG and oxygen transport at high altitudes.

When in higher altitudes, BPG synthesis increases shift O2 curves for high affinity. 

Better oxygen absorption and transport

300

What is true of primary and secondary active transporters

require free energy input to move a substance against it's concentration gradient

300

Describe catalytic mechanisms of enzymes 

always require specific positioning of substrates and catalytic groups

300

What do some reactions rely on?

Specify types

cofactors

Metal ions and coenzymes (cosubstrates & Prosthetic groups)

300

What is the michaelous-menson equation

V0=Vmax[S]/ Km+[S]

400

True or false: 

HbS has a lower affinity for oxygen than normal adult HbA

False, HbA and HbS have the same affinity however HbS has a mutation that changes a val-glu which causes aggregation of insoluble filaments in a deoxy state. 

400

Describe secondary active antiport

Moves one substance down gradient and another up gradient

400

Which amino acid is most likely to act as a covalent catalyst in an enzyme active site

Serine

400

what do enzymes do?

help to lower the free energy of the reaction

Make the reaction more efficient

400

What is Km and Ks

Km= binding constant

Ks= dissociation constant

500

Mutated HbKansasa is unable to form the bond that stabilizes the R state. Compare HbA to HbK

Higher p50 lower affinity for O2

500

Protein transports Ca2+ ions up a concentration gradient from cytoplasm to ER. What type of transport protein is this?

Primary active uniport

500

Explain the frequent appearance of His in side chains

His can act as an acid or base under physiological conditions

500

How do enzymes increase the rates of reactions?

stabilize transition state

proximity and orientation effects


500

What is the equation for Km?

Km= K-1 + k2/k1
