Draw the structure of a Schiff base between pyridoxal-5’-phosphate (PLP) and the epsilon (E) amino group...
Pyridoxal-5’-phosphate (PLP) is a very versatile cofactor in amino acid metabolism. Draw the structure of PLP on its own and as a Schiffbase linked with the amino acid serine. Use your structure of the Schiffbase to point out three different reactions that could be catalyzed with the help of an enzyme after forming a Schiffbase between PLP and serine.
Explain the basis for the following statement: As a coenzyme, pyridoxal phosphate is covalently bound to enzymes with which it functions, yet during catalysis the coenzyme is not covalently bound. Match the words in the left column to the appropriate blanks in the sentences on the right. Reset Help e-amino carboxylic acid PLP forms a covalent between the carbon of the coenzyme and an group of a lysine residue in the active site of the enzyme. This bond must be...
Both amino acid decarboxylase and tryptophan synthase are
enzymes involving pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) in their mechanisms.
There are both similarities and differences between the two
mechanisms. For each of the statements describing a mechanism
feature, indicate whether it is a feature of the decarboxylase, the
synthase, or both.
Amino acid decarboxylase Tryptophan synthase Both Answer Bank PLP forms a quinonoid structure when electrons are delocalized from the amino acid. Active sites on two different subunits are involved in the reaction....
01. Transamination is a biochemical reaction by which the –NH2 group of one amino acid is transferred to another alpha-ketoacid for preparation of a new amino acid.

Draw DNA with the sequence 5’-ACTAG-3’. Label the sugar ring, the phosphate, the base, the 5’ end and the 3’ end of the molecule. Across from it, draw the sequence it would bind to, labeling the sugar ring, the phosphate, the base, the 5’ end and 3’ end. When drawing out the DNA sequence, please draw it out with atom symbols (such as O, P, H, C, etc) and their bond type (such as single bond ( --) or double...
