Ch.19 Enzymes and Vitamins

문제 3a

The cofactors NAD⁺, Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺, coenzyme A, FAD, and Ni²⁺ are all needed by your body for enzymatic reactions.

a. Which cofactors are coenzymes?

문제 4b

Describe the reactions that you would expect these enzymes to catalyze.

b. Aspartate transaminase

문제 5a

Name the enzyme whose substrate is

a. Urea

문제 7

Identify and describe the chemical change in the lyase-catalyzed reaction in Table 19.4 that involves fumarate and malate. Identify the substrate(s) and product(s).

문제 8

Which of the following reactions can be catalyzed by a decarboxylase?

문제 10

What do we mean when we say an enzyme is saturated with substrate? When an enzyme is saturated with substrate, how does adding more (a) substrate and (b) enzyme affect the rate of the reaction?

문제 14

What kind of reaction product might be a competitive inhibitor for the enzyme that catalyzes its formation?

문제 16

Which type of enzyme regulation is best for the following situations?

a. An enzyme that becomes overactive during a disease

b. An enzyme needed only when there is low blood glucose

c. An enzyme that springs into action when a traumatic injury occurs

d. An enzyme needed only during adolescence

문제 17c

Does the enzyme described in each of the following statements require a cofactor to be active?

c. The presence of K⁺ does not affect the reaction.

문제 18b

Which vitamin provides us with each of the following?

b. Coenzyme A

문제 19

Compare the structures of vitamin A and vitamin C. Which one is water-soluble and which is fat-soluble? What structural features does each have that make one water-soluble and the other fat-soluble?

문제 20

Based on the structure shown for retinol (vitamin A) and the names of the two related forms of vitamin A, retinal and retinoic acid, what do you expect to be the structural differences among these three compounds?

문제 21

Vitamins are a diverse group of compounds that must be present in the diet. List four functions of vitamins in the body.

문제 25a

Answer questions (a)–(e) concerning the following reaction:

문제 25d

Answer questions (a)–(e) concerning the following reaction:

d. What is the product for the reaction as written?

문제 28a

Explain how the following changes affect the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction in the presence of an uncompetitive inhibitor:

(a) increasing the substrate concentration at a constant inhibitor concentration

문제 28b

Explain how the following changes affect the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction in the presence of an uncompetitive inhibitor:

(b) decreasing the inhibitor concentration at a constant substrate concentration.

문제 29b

Explain how the following mechanisms regulate enzyme activity.

b. Genetic control

문제 30a

What type of enzyme regulation occurs in the following situations?

a. Buildup of the product of the pathway that converts glucose to pyruvate stops at the first enzyme in the multistep process.

문제 30d

What type of enzyme regulation occurs in the following situations?

d. Conversion of isocitrate to α-ketoglutarate is inhibited by high levels of ATP. (Hint: ATP is neither a product nor a substrate in this reaction.)
