CHMB62H3 Final: final exam question review .docx
Document Summary
What does an apoenzyme require to become a holoenzyme: different partners. What are the two main types of cofactors: one a day. What is the fundamental mechanism by which enzymes enhance the rate of chemical reactions: nooks and crannies. What is the structural basis for enzyme specificity: give with one hand, take with the other. Why does the activation energy of a reaction not appear in the final g of the reaction: mountain climbing. G of the hydrolysis of proteins is quite neg- ative, yet proteins can be quite stable. What does it tell you about protein synthesis: protection. Suggest why the enzyme lysozyme, which degrades cell walls of some bacteria, is present in tears: stability matters. Transition-state analogs, which can be used as enzyme inhibitors and to generate catalytic antibod- ies, are often difficult to synthesize. Match the k"eq values with the appropriate g " values. Assume that you have a solution of 0. 1 m glucose 6- phosphate.
