In the context of structure and function, explain why lowering the pH of a solution would inhibit an enzyme's activity.

The vast majority of enzymes are proteins made up of amino acids held together by peptide bonds. The weak bonds that stabilize secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structure that are responsible for the three-dimensional structure of enzymes are destabilized by alterations in pH, causing denaturation. If an enzyme becomes denatured its active site may adopt a different conformation that will no longer be able to bind to reactants. Therefore, changing the structure of an enzyme disrupts its function.

A

Describe three ways in which the cell can regulate enzyme activity.

Cells can regulate enzyme activity by competitive, allosteric, and feedback inhibition. Competitive inhibition operates when an inhibitory molecule, bearing structural similarity to the substrate, binds to the enzyme's active site and thereby interferes with the substrate's ability to bind. Allosteric inhibition also involves an inhibitory molecule, but it binds to a site other than the active site or the enzyme. Once bound, the enzyme's shape changes affecting the three-dimensional contour of the active site, which can then no longer bind to the substrate. Feedback inhibition is similar to allosteric inhibition except that the inhibitor is the product of the metabolic pathway itself. As the product of the pathway accumulates, it binds to the first enzyme in the pathway, causing it to change shape, resulting in the inactivation of the entire pathway.

The appearance of insect-borne diseases in more northerly climates can be attributed to what aspects of climate change? Which diseases are of most concern?

Climatic factors which affect infectious disease include temperature, humidity and CO2 concentration and increases in these factors have occurred over the last 10 years with an increase in the incidence of insect-carried diseases. Insect-borne diseases, such as malaria, are of particular concern as climate related changes in insect vector habitat ranges brings such diseases into new areas where the human population has no experience of these diseases, resulting in these becoming emerging diseases in these areas. Increased temperature and humidity allows insects to breed more easily and survive winters in northern climates, and this leads to larger populations of these insects in more frequent contact with humans. Along with the expansion of insect habitat have come epidemics of West Nile virus, dengue virus and bunyavirus.

In terms of chemical structure discuss the similarities and differences between DNA and RNA.

DNA and RNA are both nucleic acids composed of polymers of nucleotides held together by covalent phosphodiester bonds found on the sugar phosphate backbone. In both cases, the nucleotides contain a phosphate group, a pentose sugar, and a nitrogenous base, which can be either a purine or a pyrimidine. DNA and RNA both exhibit polarity, with a distinct 5' terminal (the phosphate end) and a 3' terminal (the pentose sugar end). DNA and RNA use the purines adenine and guanine. DNA and RNA differ in that DNA has a deoxyribose sugar, whereas RNA has a ribose sugar. They use different pyrimidines with DNA using cytosine and thymine, and RNA using cytosine and uracil. DNA is usually a double-stranded antiparallel molecule stabilized by hydrogen bonding between adenine and thymine, and also between guanine and cytosine. In contrast, RNA is most often found as a single-stranded molecule.

Name and describe the four levels of protein structure and the chemical bonds involved at each level. Why is protein structure important?

Protein structure has four levels: primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary. Primary structure is simply the linear sequence of amino acids held together by peptide bonds. Secondary structure uses hydrogen bonds on the backbone of the polypeptide to form folds (pleated sheets) and coils (helices). Tertiary structure uses hydrogen bonds, disulfide bonds, and other weak bonds between R groups to provide folding of the chain upon itself, creating major three-dimensional structure. Quaternary structure is used only by proteins that are composed of more than one polypeptide chain and also involves hydrogen bonds and disulfide bonds as seen with tertiary structure. Protein structure is important as determines protein functionality. If a protein does not fold correctly or becomes denatured, the functionality of the protein is lost.

In early June of 2013, people in the Middle East were worried about a new coronavirus which at that time had led to about 50 confirmed cases, 30 of whom had died. The virus could spread from patient to patient in hospitals and soon patients arriving from the Middle East were spreading it to Europe. Give your best guess as to the means by which the virus is transmitted.

The coronavirus in this case was Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-Cov). Some transmission possibilities include hand-to-hand contact, droplets in coughs and sneezes, close contact such as kissing, and through inanimate objects like door knobs and toys.

A rapid rise has recently occurred in the number of tuberculosis patients and in the problems of treating this disease. What factors are contributing to this

The main problems are the increased use of injected illegal drugs, which allows the disease to spread via needles, and the increased incidence of AIDS, which destroys the immune protection against tuberculosis. Poor socioeconomic conditions and migration also play a role.

Provide two examples of biological molecules made by anabolism that would be required for the replication of bacteria to occur, identifying the reactants and products.

Two, among many, examples of large molecules that need to be synthesized during the replication of bacteria include nucleic acids and phospholipids. Every time a cell divides, its genetic material must be duplicated. The reactants include pyrimidines, purines, deoxyribose sugar, and phosphates. The product is DNA. As the cell prepares for division it needs to increase the amount of plasma membrane to surround the two cells arising from the original cell. The reactants include fatty acids, glycerol, and phosphate-containing groups. The product is phospholipid.

Explain why anabolism is important during the replication of bacteria during an infection.

When bacteria replicate, anabolism is required to ensure that a continuous supply of large molecules is provided for the new cells generated. Anabolism is the process of biosynthesis, and it requires energy from the cell to build large molecules from small building blocks.
