Serum blood of a patient with dislipoproteinemia type 1 has milky appearance even in fasting. If serum stays at low temperature (40) for several hours fatty layer appears on its surface. What are the possible causes of these symptoms?

A) Upon entering the body, CH3H9+ reacts with cysteine to form a molecule that is able to pass through the blood brain barrier (BBB). Draw the structure of this molecule and purpose why it is able to pass through the BBB (Hint: think about another amino acid). B) The adduct formed in part A is very labile. On encountering selenocysteine, it can permanently inhibit it. Propose how the adduct from Part A inhibits selenocysteine and explain your answer.
3) Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are zinc-dependent enzymes that catalyse the conversion of acetyllysine to lysine. e) HN a) Propose the mechanism for the HDAC-catalysed reaction. b) What is the role of zinc ion in HDAC catalysis? c) d) f) HDAC NH₂ Draw the pH-activity profile for HDAC-catalysed conversion of acetyllysine to lysine. Explain. Suggest two acetyllysine analogues that are substrates for HDACs. One should be a better substrate than acetyllysine, whereas the other one should be a worse substrate than acetyllysine. Explain. Mutations in the HDAC sequence could lead to a loss of the catalytic function. Which mutations are problematic?
