During a laboratory experiment, you discover that an enzyme-catalyzed reaction has a △G of -20 kcal/mol. If you double the amount of enzyme in the reaction, what will be the △G for the new reaction?
-20 kcal/mol
Which of the following statements describes enzyme cooperativity?
A substrate molecule bound to an active site affects the active site of several subunits.
Which of the following is most similar in structure to ATP?
RNA nucleotide
In order to attach a particular amino acid to the tRNA molecule that will transport it, an enzyme, an aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase, is required, along with ATP. Initially, the enzyme has an active site for ATP and another for the amino acid, but it is not able to attach the tRNA. What must occur in order for the final attachment to occur?
The binding of the first two molecules
what is substance X?
a substrate
Reactants capable of interacting to form products in a chemical reaction must first overcome a thermodynamic barrier known as the reactionʹs
activation energy
Substance A functions as
an allosteric inhibitor.
FIG 8.2 Which of the following represents the activation energy required for the enzyme-catalyzed reaction?
b
Sucrose is a disaccharide, composed of the monosaccharides glucose and fructose. The hydrolysis of sucrose by the enzyme sucrase results in
breaking the bond between glucose and fructose and forming new bonds from the atoms of water.
FIG 8.2 Which of the following represents the activation energy required for a noncatalyzed reaction?
c
