the energy of activation.
b. Some enzymes are allosteric.
c. Most are proteins.
d. All enzymes in the human are most active

e. They catalyze reactions in both directions.
Answer: D
The bonding of two amino acid molecules to
form a larger molecule requires
a. the release of a water molecule.
b. the release of a carbon dioxide molecule.
c. the addition of a nitrogen atom.
d. the addition of a water molecule.
e. an increase in activation energy.
Answer: a
A particular poison binds to certain enzymes
at positions other than the active site,thus
deactivating the enzyme. This is an example of
a. noncompetitive inhibition
b. competitive inhibition
c. denaturing
d. allosteric inhibition
e. irreversible inhibition
Answer: D
Certain metabolic pathways are affected by the
Buildup of a product which interacts with an enzyme
Catalyzing one of the initial steps of the pathway;
This can be an example of
(a) transcriptional regulation.
(b) thermodynamic regulation.
(c) translational regulation
(d) feedback inhibition.
(e) posttranscriptional modification.
Answer: d

(b) They can facilitate metabolic reactions
by combining with enzymes and their active
sites.
(c) They are minerals that alter the pH of
cells and thus increase the probability of
chemical reactions.

2001- Proteins- large complex molecules- are
major building blocks of all living organisms.
Discuss the following in relation to proteins.
a. The chemical composition and levels
of structure of proteins.
2008-
Substrate bound to active
site by weak interactions
(hydrogen bond, ionic bond,
Van der Waals force, etc.)
The enzyme cystathionine b-synthase (CBS) catalyzes the condenation of serine and homocysteine to produce
cystathionine, an important intermediate in the biosynthesis of cysteine. Deficiency of CBS activity results in toxic
levels of homocysteine and is the most common cause of homocystinuria, a disease whose symptoms include
dislocated eye lenses, skeletal and vascular problems, and mental retardation. Mammalian CBS is a unique heme
protein that requires the cofactor pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP). Although heme is essential for activity inmammalian
CBS, the chemistry is performed by PLP, and heme is not present in the enzyme of lower organisms. Why, then, has
nature included a heme in the CBS of mammals? Our hypothesis is that the heme of CBS is acting as a regulator of
enzyme activity. A number of studies demonstrate that there is communication between the heme and the active site,
e.g. small molecule binding and reduction of the heme both diminish enzyme activity. In collaboration with Professor
Jan Kraus (University of Colorado, Denver), we are currently probing the enzyme and the heme with a variety of
spectroscopic and biochemical methods, such as electronic absorption and magnetic circular dichroism (MCD), and
resonance Raman spectroscopies, site-directed mutagenesis, and radiochemical enzyme assays in an attempt to unlock
the mystery of the heme in this enzyme.
