Introduction Enzymes regulate the biochemical processes in various organisms. The enzymes catalyze reactions and at times help with the generation of the ATP, which is an energy source. Among the enzymes of biological importance is the succinyl CoA synthetase. The essay focuses on the structure, functions, and relations of succinyl CoA synthetase.
The molecular weight and the subunit structure
Succinyl- CoA synthetase enzyme is a heterotetramer with both an alpha and beta subunits. The alpha subunit is made of ten helices and a14 beta strands. The beta strands are in groups of seven, which lie parallel forming sheets. One of the strand lie antiparallel to the others in each sheet. The sheets are sandwiched by helices resulting to a double …show more content…

Through this process there is limit and link between citric acid cycle activity and the stretch of withdrawal of axaloacetate for the process of nucleogenesis. High energy phosphate bond is generated by the action of succinyl CoA synthetase on succinyl CoA to produce succinate fromm the succinyl CoA and the end result is formation of GTP from GDP. The reaction is reversible with phosphate and magnesium ion as cofactors(Rao, 2006). The cleaving of thioesters bond of succinyl CoA by the enzyme produces sufficient energy for the formation of GTP from GTP and phosphate. A molecule of the ATP is formed from the ADP and GTP to GDP in the presence …show more content…

coli reacts with the CoA affinity. The synthesis of succinyl CoA is thought to occur at an active binding site in the case of E. coli. If ATP binds at the second active site, there is formation and release of the Succinyl CoA at the initial site. Binding of ATP at the second site causes the site to undergo phosphorylation. ATP, magnesium ions, the enzyme, and phosphate incubated in the presence of hydroxylamine trapping succinyl CoA and pyruvate kinase-lactate dehydrogenase ADP. Under these conditions, phosphate-succinate exchange would be a measure of the interaction of phosphate is a measure of the interaction of the phosphate with the enzyme bound succinyl CoA synthetase before the enzyme is released(Toone,

ABSTRACT To catalyze a reaction, an enzyme will grab on (bind) to one or more reactant molecules. In this experiment we examined how increasing the volume of the extract added to the reaction would affect the rate of the reaction. The enzyme used was horseradish peroxidase which helps catalyze hydrogen peroxide. Using different pH levels, the absorbance rate of the reaction was measured to see at which condition the enzyme worked best. The rates of absorption were calculated using a spectrophotometer in 20 second intervals up to 120 seconds.

State how sucrase activity changes with increasing sucrose concentration. First sucrase activity increases greatly. After 10 g/l sucrase activity continues to increase but at a slow rate until it reaches 30 g/l. At 30 g/l to 35 g/l sucrase activities mostly stayed the same

This experiment involved the chosen enzyme, B-Galactosidase, to be tested with a substrate called o-nitrophenol-B-D-galactopyranoside (ONPG). The purpose was to determine over time the effects the enzyme had on the substrate concentration, as well as to examine the effect of lactose, a disaccharide on the formation of o-nitrophenol. The experiment utilized a spectrophotometer to determine at which the rate that the enzyme catalyzes, by timing the change in absorbance every 15 seconds, as well as observing any colour change. The amount of enzyme added to the B-Galactosidase is increased over time, and the ONPG is set to a constant value each trial. It was determined that through the trials of testing the absorbance of the enzyme, the faster

When it was omitted from tube 7, the reaction slowed substantially. This indicated that substrate concentration and enzyme catalyzation are directly proportional, meaning that without the succinate there is no binding to the active site and thus no catalyzation of fumarate. But a small reaction with a velocity of -0.0068 (abs/min) still occurred, due to there being small traces of succinate present in mitochondria. This is significant because it shows that mitochondria may store, or at least hold some, succinate for use in the electron transport chain, but not enough to drive a strong or indefinitely long reaction. Based on all of the data collected, it is evident that as the concentration of succinate dehydrogenase is increased within a cell, the rate of the reaction where succinate is oxidized to fumarate increases (up to a point where enzyme conc.

The purpose of this experiment was to analyze the effects of the variables: temperature, pH, and enzyme concentration, on the enzymatic reaction rate of catalase and the level at which its products are released, measuring the rate of absorption using the indicator solution guaiacol and a spectrophotometer to develop a hypothesis of the ideal conditions for these reactions. My hypothesis is that the extremes in concentration, temperature and pH will negatively affect the Au rate. This experiment used 11 solutions contained in cuvettes. Each cuvette, once mixed, is placed in spectrophotometer and then a reading taken every 20 seconds. Cuvettes 1, 8, and 10 are used as blanks to zero out the spectrophotometer.

The competitive inhibitor that was added was lactose. We predicted this because competitive inhibitors block and bind to the active site so it will slow down the binding of the desired substrate. An alternative hypothesis that came up was that the reaction of substrate would stay consistent as if no inhibitor was added. The enzyme could reject the inhibitor if it does not fit in the active site, causing the substrate to bind as it normally would. Our results showed that with the addition of lactose, the reaction did slow down a considerably

Bio Chem lab Report 04 Enzyme Biochemistry Group Member: Chan Man Jeun Duncan (16002621) Law Sze Man (16000478) Introduction Enzyme is a protein base structure substance in our body. It works at a biocatalyst that will catalyzing the chemical reaction, which helps to speed up the chemical reaction. Enzyme could only function in specific shape, and the shape of enzyme is depending on the environment, therefore it is hard for an enzyme to function well in an extreme environment. The aim of this experiment is to see can the enzyme functions normally in different environment(pH, temperature and salt concentration) via using starch solution, amylase from saliva, 0.5M HCl solution, 0.5M NaOH solution and NaCl solution, and using iodine solution
