2+
The activity of the Ca 2+ -ATPase is regulated reversibly under
normal conditions to maintain homeostatic concentrations of Ca²-
inside the sarcomere. However, in a rare genetic disorder, irreversible
activation of the Ca 2+ -ATPase can occur. Assuming 37 °C,
pH = 7.4, and the steadystate concentrations for ATP, ADP Pi,
and Ca2+
(out) given in part (a), calculate the minimum [Ca2+] inside
a sarcomere that has irreversibly activated Ca 2+ -ATPase (i.e., the
Ca2+-ATPase activity is always “on”).
Express your answer to two significant figures and include the
appropriate units.

How does myoglobin minimize oxidation of the Fe(II) when the heme binds to oxygen?
Select one:
a. the distal His E7 forms a hydrogen bond to the bound molecular oxygen
O b. the oxygen binding site is buried in the hydrophobic core away from water
O c. the proximal His F8 forms a coordinate bond to Fe(II), which inhibits oxidation
O d. nonpolar interactions with residues Val E11 and Phe CD1 limit oxidation by oxygen
Oe. the heme shifts to a planar structure that traps iron in a +2 oxidation state

The above figures show the rate of actin polymerization in the presence of various concentration of profilin (Pfn). In the top figure, flourescence intensity is a measure of total actin that has been polymerized, and this is plotted versus time in seconds.

What is the biochemical rationale for the use of creatine? It would serve as an electron donor to support reductive biosyntheses required to sustain cellular function.

It would be converted into creatine phosphate and thus serve as a rapid means of replenishing ATP during muscle contraction.

- Please answer fast The equilbrium constant (Keq) under standard conditions for the hydrolysis of ATP is 200,000 M. This would suggest the reaction is: 1. proceeding in reverse direction 2. proceeding in forward direction 3. in equilibrium However, this does not take into consideration the concentration of substrates/products within the cell. This is can be calculated by determining the reaction quotient, Q by: [ATP] x [Pi] / [ADP] [ATP] + [Pi] / [ADP] [ADP] x [ATP] / [Pi] [ADP] x [Pi] / [ATP] Biochemical reactions commonly involve the transfer of groups from ATP.

They are re-sponsible 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 en-doperoxide synthase. This enzyme, a cyclooxygenase, uses oxygen to convert arachidonic acid to PGG2, the immediate precursor of many different prostaglandins (prostaglandin synthesis is described in Chapter 21). a)The kinetic data given below are for the reaction catalyzed by prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase.
