Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
To identify each component of the given reaction by a represented cartoon figure and assemble them to show the normal enzyme reaction.
Concept Introduction:
Many enzymes contain only protein in their structure. However, some are composed of both protein component and non-protein component. The protein component of an enzyme is called apoenzyme and the non-protein component of an enzyme is called cofactor.
(b)
Interpretation:
To identify each component of the given reaction by a represented cartoon figure and assemble them to show a competitive inhibition.
Concept Introduction:
Competitive inhibition occurs when a substance that is not the substrate of the enzyme under normal condition can also bind to the enzyme’s active site. This results in direct competition with the substrate for the active site.
(c)
Interpretation:
To identify each component of the given reaction by a represented cartoon figure and assemble them to show a noncompetitive inhibition.
Concept Introduction:
Noncompetitive inhibition occurs when an inhibitor binds to a site present on the enzyme that is distinct from the active site which causes an alteration in the shape of the active site, making it unavailable for the substrate.

- In the multienzyme sequence shown below, molecules of D are able to fit to the enzyme E1 and prevent the conversion of A to B. What is this action of E called? AE1BE2CE3D a. effector inhibition b. allosteric inhibition c. feedback inhibition d. competitive inhibition by nonproductarrow_forwardThe process by which an enzyme acts on the substrate can be described by the: a. lock-and-key model. b. enzyme-and-substrate model. c. enzyme folding model. d. catalytic model.arrow_forwardHow can the Michaelis constant (Km) be identified and used to represent the affinity between the enzyme and the substrate?arrow_forward
- It is known that the amino acid at position 523 of the cyclooxygenase enzyme is part of the active site. In the isoenzyme COX-1, this amino acid is isoleucine, whereas in COX-2, it is valine. Suggest how such information could be used in the design of drugs that selectively inhibit COX-2.arrow_forwardFrom the given activity, 1.) What is the effect of temperature to the enzyme? 2.) What are some generalizations and conclusions in this activity?arrow_forwardWhat is the mechanism of action of the antibiotic drug Sulfanilamide in terms of enzyme inhibition?arrow_forward

Which is a false statement regarding non-competitive enzyme inhibitor? (a) It binds to an allosteric site of the enzyme (b) It does not compete with the natural substrate for binding to the active site of the enzy (c) Its binding to the enzyme can induce a conformational change of the enzyme (d) It can be used in combination therapies with a competitive inhibitor (e) It usually is a mimic of the natural enzyme substrate 3. What is the purpose of structure-activity-relationship (SAR) studies? (a) To identify the drug target (b) To improve the pharmacokinetic properties of the drug (c) To determine which atoms or functional groups are important to the activity of a drug (d) To simplify the synthesis of the drug (e) To optimise activity of the drugarrow_forwardWhy do we say the two enzyme-catalyzed reactions taking place in your test tube are "coupled"? O peroxidase and glucose oxidase utilize hydrogen peroxide as a substrate O peroxidase utilizes the lactone produced by glucose oxidase as a substrate O because there is a dye in solution O peroxidase and glucose oxidase utilize glucose as a substrate Operoxidase utilizes the hydrogen peroxide produced by glucose oxidase as a substrate Evaluatearrow_forward
