Chorismate mutase is an enzyme that promotes a pericyclic reaction by forcing the substrate to assume the conformation needed for the reaction. The product of the pericyclic reaction is prephenate that is subsequently converted into the amino acids phenylalanine and tyrosine. What kind of a pericyclic reaction does chorismate mutase catalyze?

An enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of an ester with a certain activity, but this activity is lost in a 3 M urea solution. What is the most likely explanation for the loss of activity? (A) Urea binds to the active site of the enzyme competitively with the substrate. (B) Urea causes the cleavage of the peptide bonds in the enzyme. (C) Urea causes the enzyme to denature and lose its specific three-dimensional shape. (D) Urea reacts with disulfide bonds in the enzyme.
A normal polypeptide and a mutant of the polypeptide were hydrolyzed by an endopeptidase under the same conditions. The normal and mutant poly peptide differ by one amino acid.
