Enzyme kinetics
In biochemistry, enzymes are proteins that act as biological catalysts. Catalysis is the addition of a catalyst to a chemical reaction to speed up the pace of the reaction. Catalysis can be categorized as either homogeneous or heterogeneous, depending on whether the catalysts are distributed in the same phase as that of the reactants. Enzymes are an essential part of the cell because, without them, many organic processes would slow down and thus will affect the processes that are important for cell survival and sustenance.
Regulation of Enzymes
A substance that acts as a catalyst to regulate the reaction rate in the living organism's metabolic pathways without itself getting altered is an enzyme. Most of the biological reactions and metabolic pathways in the living systems are carried out by enzymes. They are specific for their works and work in particular conditions. It maintains the best possible rate of reaction in the most stable state. The enzymes have distinct properties as they can proceed with the reaction in any direction, their particular binding sites, pH specificity, temperature specificity required in very few amounts.
Which folate structure (from the list below)
(a) is the substrate for the enzyme that is inhibited by methotrexate and
trimethoprim?
(b) has the most highly oxidized one-carbon substituent?
(c) is used in the conversion of serine to glycine?
(d) transfers its one-carbon substituent to a B12 coenzyme? What amino acid is synthesized as the end result of this reaction?
(e) is the coenzyme for the thymidylate synthase reaction?
(f) is not known to exist in nature?
(g) is used in purine
Note: Since you have posted a question with multiple subparts, we will solve the first three subparts for you. To get the remaining subparts solved, please repost the complete question and mention the subparts to be solved.
Folate or folic acid is one of the Vitamin B that is required to make red blood cells or white blood cells in the bone marrow, it also helps in the energy production from carbohydrates, also used for growth during pregnancy, adolescence.
The deficiency in the folate can cause anemia that can cause symptoms such as tiredness, lethargy, headaches, etc.
