A certain metabolic pathway can be diagrammed as: X Y Z A→B→C→D where A, B, C, and D are the intermediates, and X, Y, and Z are the enzymes that catalyze the reactions. The physiological free energy changes for the reactions are: X -0.5 kJ · mol-1 Y -2.3 kJ · mol-1 Z -13.2 kJ · mol-1. How would the concentrations of B and C be affected if an inhibitor that inhibits enzyme Z was added to the reaction?

QUESTION 7 How does a transition state analog affect enzyme activity? inhibits ES formation inhibits product formation inhibits ES formation and product formation no effect on ES formation or production formation QUESTION 8 Refer to the image below. A mutation occurs in the enzyme (E) such that it strongly interacts with the substrate (S). What impact does this have on k1 and k-1? Enzyme-substrate reaction: E + S ⇌ ES → E + P

The reactions that enzymes catalyze are usually reversible. The enzyme Glucose-3-phosphate isomerase catalyzes the reversible interconversion of dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P). At equal concentrations of DHAP and G3P, conversion to DHAP is favored. What process can a cell employ to maintain a favorable conversion of DHAP to G3P instead?
