- The specific activity of a pure preparation of pyruvate kinase (PK) assayed in the direction of pyruvate formation (forward direction) is 220 U/mg at 25 C and at pH 7.5. This form of PK is a homotetramer (MW 240,000) with one active site per subunit. What is the kcat for PK in the forward direction?Residue Asn 204 in the glucose binding site of hexokinase IV was mutated, in two separate experiments, to either Ala or Asp. The Asn → Ala mutant had a KM nearly 50-fold greater than the wild-type enzyme, and the Asn → Asp mutant had a 140-fold greater KM value than the wild-type enzyme. These mutations impact the intermolecular interactions between the enzyme and the glucose substrate.The amide functional group of the Asn side chain can form with the hydroxyl groups of the glucose substrate and can potentially function as either a . The methyl group of Ala cannot participate in hydrogen bond formation, which explains the in glucose affinity as indicated by the higher KM for the mutant enzyme. The side chain of Asp could potentially serve as a , but…Residue Asn 204 in the glucose binding site of hexokinase IV was mutated, in two separate experiments, to either Ala or Asp.

- Substrate A has a Km of 45uM and a kcat of 100/s with trypsin and a Km of 540mM and a kcat of 2/s with chymotrypsin. Substrate A is a better substrate of [trypsin/chymotrypsin] and likely contains a/an/some [aromatic/acidic/basic] residues(s) in its sequence. Chymotrypsin contains a [glycine/serine/aspartate] in its specificity pocket which likely [repel/attract] the residues in substrate A.The Y150F (Tyr 150 to Phe) mutant of ß-lactamase catalyzes the reaction with a keat of 3.1 * 10³ s¹ at pH = 7.0 and 37 °C.
