Student________________ Biochemistry I Homework III Due 10/13/04 64 points total (48 points based on text; 16 points for Swiss-PDB viewer exercise) 1). 20 points total T or F; if false, provide a brief rationale as to why. _ _ _ _ __ Only charged amino acids play a role in a proteins active site. false uncharged polar residues (e.g., ser, tyr) also participate; also hydrophobic groups can play a role in substrate specificity _ _ _ _ _ __ Both enzyme specificity and enzyme catalysis can be explained by the "induced-fit model" for substrate binding. true ____Enzymes alter the amount of energy consumed (or liberated) in a reaction. F; ∆H remains unchanged in an enzyme catalyzed reaction. ____ Catalysts accelerate a reaction by increasing the ∆G≠ ∆ G≠ is the activation energy, which they lower. _____ The steady state assumption in Michaelis-Menten kinetics states that the ES intermediate is consumed as rapidly as it is formed. T _ _ _ _ _ A lower activation energy means the forward and reverse reactions both proceed at faster rates. T _ _ _ _ _ Biological reactions can have molecularities up to 5. F, never greater than 3 _ _ _ _ _ Vmax is reached when every enzyme is carrying out a chemical reaction. T _ _ _ _ _ A large Km (10-1 M to 10-3 M) means that substrate binds tightly to enzyme. F; a large Km indicates weak binding (look at a plot to convince yourself) . _____ Affinity labels are an example of irreversible inhibitors. T Student________________ 2). (6 points) The curves below represent the effect of adding a positive allosteric effector or a negative allosteric effector to an enzymatic reaction. a). Identify on the plot which curve represents the effect of a positive allosteric effector and which curve represents the effect of a negative allosteric effector. right curve, negative; left curve, positive. 2 points b). How do positive and negative allosteric effectors exert their effect on an enzyme? 4 points. In general, they act by stabilizing different quaternary structures of the molecule. Positive effectors stabilize quaternary R, negative effectors stabilize quaternary T structures. Positive effectors enhance affinity or increase Km. Negative effectors decrease substrate affinity or decrease Km. Student________________ 3). 9 points total Properties of an enzyme involved in prostaglandin synthesis. Prostaglandins are fatty acid derivatives that are responsible for producing fever and inflammation and its associated pain. The are derived from the 20-carbon fatty acid arachidonic acid in a reaction catalyzed by the enzyme prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase. This enzyme uses oxygen to convert arachidonic acid to PGG2, an immediate precursor to many different prostaglandins. The kinetic data are given below in columns 1 & 2 for the reaction catalyzed by prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase. Kinetic data were also collected in the presence of ibuprofen, an inhibitor of prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase. Ibuprofen inhibits the synthesis of protaglandins, thus aiding in reducing inflammation and pain. The data collected in the presence of ibuprofen are given in column 1 & 3. Analyze the data using a Lineweaver-Burke plot. What is the Vmax and Km of the enzyme in the absence of ibuprofen? What kind of inhibitor is ibuprofen? Why can't we use the direct plots of vo vs. [S] to determine Vmax and Km? (Attach plots for full credit).

Student________________ Can't determine it directly because we can never . 3 points r a one-substrate, enzyme catalyzed reaction, double-reciprocal plots (Lineweaver-Burke ts) were determined for three different enzyme concentrations. Which of the following ree families of curves would expected to be obtained (circle the appropriate plot). Briefly plain your choice in terms of the definitions of Vmax and Km. Middle Graph: If Et is increased, Vmax will increase due to Vmax = kcat * [E]t. However, Km is independent of enzyme concentration Km = (k -1 + kcat) / k 1 and only reflects the rate constants for association and dissociation of the ES complex. Km is unique for each substrate/enzyme pair and can be viewed very loosely as reflecting the affinity of enzyme for substrate. Affinity will not change if you have 1 µM or 2 µM or 5 µM… enzyme concentration. Student________________ 5). 4points Short answer (no more than 4 grammatically correct sentences) What is the difference between amino acid sequence and amino acid composition? What two techniques discriminate between amino acid sequence and amino acid composition? Amino acid sequence is the primary structure of a polypeptide (read from N- to C- terminal) in which the amino acids are covalently linked by the peptide bond. Protein sequencing by Edman Degradation provides this information. Amino acid composition refers to the total number of each amino acid in a polypeptide chain. Polypeptide hydrolysis through acid conditions and high temperature gives us this. Student________________ 6). 10 points Predict the sequence of the peptide based on the given information. Partial credit (up to 3 points) will be given for correct partial analysis, so justify your reasons. Total credit ! only if correct sequence given. a). Amino acid analysis of a heptapeptide gave the following results (in no particular order Asp Glu Leu Lys met Tyr Trp NH4 + The NH4+ product tells us that we can have Glx (Glu or Gln) or Asx (Asn or Asp) b). Trypsin had no effect. Because trypsin cleaves after lys and arg, it must be on the C-terminus so, we write x - x - x - x - x - x - LYS c). The phenylthiohydantion released by Edman degradation was: we can identify this derivative as tyrosine. so we write: TYR - x - x - x - x - x - LYS d). Chymotrypsin treatment yielded several products, including a dipeptide and a tetrapeptide. The amino acid composition of the tetrapeptide was Glx, Leu, Lys and met Chymotrypsin cleaves after aromatic residues; so the only we can get a di peptide and tetrapeptide is if trp is at position 3 . This tells us the break-down must be: TYR - X-TRP and X-X-X-LYS (or we can write the tetrapeptide {glx,leu,met} -LYS as d). CNBr treatment yielded a tetrapeptide that had a net positive charge at pH 7 and a tripeptide that a a zero net charge at pH 7.0 CNBr cleaves after Met. *If CNBr leaves a tetrapeptide and a tripeptide, TYR - x - TRP- MET - x - x - LYS it must be at position 4! This was the tricky part of this problem: modified C-terminus - one without charge! Student________________ CNBr treatment leaves a So, NH3+-Tyr -X-TRP-Carboxy teminus where the C-terminal has no charge. Based on the information, this must have a net + charge, so the only way to get that is if asp is really asn! So, Tyr-Asn-Trp-Met-X-X-Lys e. Cleavage with Staph protease leaves a dipeptide and pentapeptide The only way this would work is if glu is the third so we have TYR-ASN-TRP-MET-GLU-LEU-LYS residue from the end, Student________________ Homework III Swiss PDB Viewer Exercise 16 points total Download the structure 1IOZ from the Protein Data Bank Website. a).
