The kcat for the wild-type enzyme at pH =6.15, 37 °C is 26.8 s-1.(a) Describe the roles of the following amino acids in the catalytic mechanism: Glu117, Tyr409, and Asp149. List all of the following that apply:general acid/base catalysis (GABC), covalent catalysis, electrostaticstabilization of transition state.(b) Based on the information shown in the scheme, would you expect mutation of Glu 117 to Ala to have a greater effect on KM or kcat?(c) For the R374N mutant at pH = 6.15, 37 °C, kcat is 0.020 s-1, and KMis relatively unaffected. Based on this result, it seems that R374 is morecritical for catalysis than for substrate binding. Explain how R374 stabilizesthe reaction transition state more than the substrate (i.e., what feature of this reaction would explain tighter binding to the transition state vs. substrate?).The enzymatic activity of lysozyme is optimal at pH 5.2 and decreases above and below this pH value. Lysozyme contains two amino acid residues in the active site essential for catalysis: Glu35 and Asp52. The pK value for the carboxyl side chains of these two residues are 5.9 and 4.5 respectively. What is the ionization state of each residue at the pH optimum of lysozyme? How can the ionization states of these 2 amino acid residues explain the pH-activity profile of lysozyme?
