Imаge Descriptiоn Lаctаte dehydrоgenase interactiоn diagram showing the enzyme binding to pyruvate and NADH. The image details amino acid residues such as Arg109, Gln102, Thr246, His195, Arg171, and Asp168, involved in the binding process. Pyruvate is positioned centrally, with NADH on the right. Key interactions are depicted, illustrating the molecular structure and connections within the enzyme's active site. The diagram above is of the active site of lactate dehydrogenase. This enzyme reduces the ketone in pyruvate (2-oxo-propanoate) to an alcohol in lactate. Pyruvate is shown bound to the active site of the enzyme. When Arg 109 is replaced with Gln, the enzyme binds pyruvate only 5% as well and the overall activity of the enzyme drops to 0.07% of what it was. Referring to the above diagram, briefly explain why this is the case. (2 pts.) When Arg 171 is replaced with Lys, the overall enzymatic activity drops to 0.05% of what it was. Briefly explain why this structural change results in such a dramatic drop in activity. (2 pts.) If Gln 102 is replaced by Arg, the enzyme will accept oxaloacetate (it is the structure of pyruvate with a carboxylate group i.e. carboxylic acid group attached to the methyl group of pyruvate) instead of pyruvate as substrate. Explain why this amino acid change accommodates the binding of oxaloacetate. (2 pts.) This diagram left off the NAD+ carboxamide side chain on the ring. Knowing that the side chain is present, would NAD+ have a binding preference toward the Thr 246, the Ile 250, or no preference? Justify your answer. (2 pts.) Draw and describe the structure of the expected pyruvate transition state intermediate for this reaction. (3 pts.)
In the liver, the first step in glycоlysis is nоt cаtаlyzed by hexоkinаse, but by glucokinase. These enzymes catalyze the same reaction, but the Km of hexokinase is 0.1 mM while the Km for glucokinase is 5 mM. Upload an image of your answers to this question. Knowing this, under identical conditions and with the same concentration of the glucose substrate, which enzyme, hexokinase or glucokinase, produces product at the highest reaction rate? Briefly justify your answer. Assume that both enzymes have similar Vmax values. (2 pts.) Michaelis-Menton kinetics assumes a two-step reaction process. Given the data above, which of the two steps in the process most likely differs for the two enzymes? Briefly justify your answer. (2 pts.) The value of kcat for hexokinase is reported to be 28/sec. In the presence of 0.02 mM of the compound known as LY-2121260 it is reported to be 75/sec. Describe the effect LY-2121260 has on the overall enzymatic activity of hexokinase and state whether the Km or the Vmax of hexokinase is most affected by this compound. (2 pts.) Sketch and label a Lineweaver-Burke plot of initial velocity, Vo, vs. [S] for the enzyme glucokinase relative to the enzyme hexokinase. Note: This is a relative plot (not exact) to show the difference in activity of the two enzymes compared to each other. Assume that both enzymes have similar Vmax values. (3 pts.) Sketch and label a second Lineweaver-Burke plot of initial velocity, Vo, vs. [S] that compares hexokinase with and without a hypothetical uncompetitive inhibitor. Note: This is a relative plot (not exact) to show the difference in activity of the enzyme with and without the inhibitor. (3 pts.)
