The structure of the active site of chymotrypsin is shown below. The catalytic triad shown (Ser 195, His 57, and aspl02) are shown. A peptide with a phenylalanine is shown bound in the active site. 1. Chymotrypsin is a serine protease. The Km for chymotrypsin with N-acetylvaline ethyl ester is 8.8 X 102 M. The Km for the reaction with N-acetyltyrosine ethyl ester is 6.6 X 10 (a) Which substrate has the higher affinity for this enzyme? (b) Give a...
Sickle-cell Anemia Study Sickle-cell anemia or Sickle-cell disease, is a hereditary disorder. characterized by aryabnormality in the oxygen-carrying hemoglobin molecule in erythrocytes. Sickle-cell conditions have an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance from parents. The sickle cell defect is a mutation of a single nucleotide of the hemoglobin B gene, which results in glutamic acid being substituted by a different amino acid at position 6. Hemoglobin with this mutation is referred to as Hbs, as opposed to the normal hemoglobin HbA....
