Introduction to Bioorganic Chemistry and Chemical Biology 1 Answers to Chapter 6 (intext & asterisked problems) Answer 6.1 olve the equation. Convert temperature in C to K by adding 273. Plug the numbers into ΔG = Δ TΔ. K association = e ΔG/T. This is the equilibrium constant for association, so take the inverse: K d = 1/K association.

2 Introduction to Bioorganic Chemistry and Chemical Biology: Answers to Chapter 6 Answer 6.3 When the concentration of AD is 3 10 7 M, the ratio of bound to unbound alcohol dehydrogenase is 1:1. From there, the ratio of bound to unbound enzyme can easily be estimated at other concentrations of AD. bound enzyme AD K D = 3 10 7 M unbound enzyme AD [AD] [enzyme AD] : [enzyme] 3 10 6 M 10 : 1 3 10 7 M 1 : 1 3 10 8 M 1 : 10 3 10 9 M 1 : 100 A When [AD] = 3 μm, the ratio of bound to unbound enzyme is 10/11 91%.

At an oral dose of 8 g of curcumin per day, the peak serum concentrations of curcumin reach only 1.8 μm. ypothetically, eating large quantities of curcumin might be effective for colorectal cancer in the GI tract, but not for systemic cancers like leukemias. Answer 6.5 A Galactose binds most tightly because it has the lowest K m ; however, the affinities of all three substrates are within a factor of two. B Galactose is isomerized more than 100 times faster than the other two substrates on the basis of the k cat /K m values: galactose (3700 mm 1 s 1 ), glucose (13 mm 1 s 1 ), xylose (20 mm 1 s 1 ). C If the system is at equilibrium, when the concentration of glucose is 10 K m (340 mm), the ratio of glucose enzyme complex to free enzyme will be 10:1. In a typical mammalian cell, the intracellular glucose concentration is less than 1 mm. f course the amount of free enzyme is likely to be small because galactose and other sugars can occupy the enzyme active site. Answer 6.6 A The substrate with the lowest K m binds most tightly: LALG. B The substrate with the highest k cat is phosphorylated fastest (once it binds): L ALG. C The relative rates of phosphorylation will be proportional to k cat /K m. LALG is better than LAALG by a factor of 1507. ubstrate K m (μm) k cat (s 1 ) k cat / K m (M 1 s 1 ) LAALG 12200 8.7 0.00071 LALG 804 19.8 0.0246 LALG 31 33.1 1.07
Introduction to Bioorganic Chemistry and Chemical Biology: Answers to Chapter 6 3 Answer 6.7 Because imine formation is fast and reversible, the following mechanism is reasonable. The mechanism for imine/iminium ion formation was covered in Chapter 2. 2 C A C : 2 C 2 The ratedetermining step for this reaction has not yet been determined, making it difficult to determine the ordering of the various steps. It has been proposed that hemithioacetal formation precedes imine formation. Unfortunately, this proposed mechanism involves the formation of a benzylic cation that is destabilized by the ortho imine substituent. many steps 2 Cys unstable cation Cys Cys Answer 6.8 Carboxamide hydrolysis and βelimination prevent quantitative isolation of Asn, Gln, er, Cys, and Thr.

Introduction to Bioorganic Chemistry and Chemical Biology: Answers to Chapter 6 Answer 6.9 The enzyme uses two Zn2 ions and an arginine to stabilize the serine alkoxide, the alkoxide leaving group and the anionic phosphorane intermediate, but these are omitted to simplify the problem. er : er P er P P er P : er P er P Answer 6.10 Prostromelysin cannot cleave itself, because Cys75 holds the inhibitory domain in place by coordinating to the Zn2 ion at the active site (see the rendering of prostromelysin in Figure 6.48). Arylmercurials have a high affinity for sulfur. They coordinate to Cys75, opening up the Zn2 active site, which can then proteolytically cleave the inhibitory domain.

B Chorismate is also rearranged more quickly (after it binds) because it has the much larger k cat. C verall, chorismate (k cat /K m = 207 mm 1 s 1 ) is a better substrate than the methyl analog (k cat /K m = 0.29 mm 1 s 1 ) by almost three orders of magnitude. *Answer 6.17 A strained reactive intermediate
