1. Prostaglandins are a class of eicosanoids, fatty acid derivatives with a variety of extremely potent actions on vertebrate tissues. They are responsible for producing fever and inflammation and its associated pain. Prostaglandins are derived from the 20- carbon fatty acid arachidonic acid in a reaction catalyzed by the enzyme prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase. This enzyme, a cyclooxygenase, uses oxygen to convert arachidonic acid to PGG2, the immediate precursor of many different prostaglandins. (a) The kinetic data given below are for the reaction catalyzed by prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase. Focusing here on the first two columns, determine the Vmax and Km of the enzyme. (b) Ibuprofen is an inhibitor of prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase. By inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins, ibuprofen reduces inflammation and pain. Using the data in the first and third columns of the table, determine the type of inhibition that ibuprofen exerts on prostaglandin endoperoxide…
2. The mechanism of HMG-CoA reducatse enzyme activity involves several stages. For the catalytic reaction to proceed, another substrate known as NADPH, which acts as a reducing agent is required. The kinetics of enzyme activity with NADPH at non-limiting amounts of HMG-CoA in the absence or presence of compactin is shown below. a) Based on the description above, which of the six types of enzymes does HMG-CoA reductase belong to? b) What is the Km for the reaction with no inhibitor present? Do NOT forget the units. Answers can be expressed either as a fraction or in decimals. c) What happens the measured Km with increasing amounts of compactin? (select one) increases decreases does not change d) What happens to the measured Vmax with increasing amounts of compactin? (select one) increases decreases does not change e) Based on your answers above, what type of inhibitor is compactin relative to its effects on enzyme activity NADPH? with -60 -40 1/V, (nanomoles/min)-1 -20 0.2 0.18 0.16…

1. Fatty acids are transported into the mitochondria as fatty acyl-carnitine rather than fatty acyl-CoA and B-hydroxybuturate and acetoacetate (ketone bodies) are exported out of the liver into the blood rather than their -CoA esters. Why?
1. Outline the first round of lipid catabolism using a C18 saturated fatty acid. Indicate cofactors and type of chemistry that takes place. a. How much NADH, FADH2 and ACCOA are you getting from complete catabolism of this fatty acid? b. How many moles of ATP are you getting from the breakdown of this fatty acid? Keep in mind that in the mitochondria 1 mole FADH2 gives about 1.5 moles of ATP while 1 mole NADH yields about 2.5 moles of ATP.
