Does arginine play a role in acid/base catalysis, covalent catalysis or both? Explain your answer?
Homework Answers
Arginine is a basic amino acid. It has a high pka value. But it can be used for catalysis of certain oxidation in the form of cleavage reaction.
It does not act strongly as covalent catalyst because of its high pka value.

(b) NMP kinases bring two nucleotides, for example AMP and ATP,
together to facilitate the transfer of a phosphoryl group from one
nucleotide to the other (creating two ADP). The enzyme positions
the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) such that the gamma phosphate
group is placed adjacently to the phosphate group of the NMP
kinase. This facilitates...

The HIV protease enzyme uses a general acid-base catalysis mechanism to cleave viral polypeptides but does not use a covalent catalysis. This enzyme functions optimally in the pH range of 4-6. Due to the specific amino acids involved in this catalysis, HIV protease is a member of which subclass of proteases? Select one: A. metalloproteases B. aspartyl proteases C. serine proteases D. lysine proteases E. cysteine proteases

Chymotrypsin What evidence in chymotrypsin mechanism supports the claim that chymotrypsin catalysis involves general acid-base catalysis and covalent catalysis? Draw the chemical structure of the transition state (resembles the intermediate structure) in the step that forms the enzyme-product covalent adduct. In comparison to the substrate, how is the tetrahedral transition state preferentially stabilized by enzyme? Chymotrypsin mechanism: Write all the steps in the mechanism and understand what each step accomplishes.
