1Which type of enzyme facilitates phosphorylation (addition of a phosphate)
- APhosphotase
- BKinase
- CHydroxylase
- DTransferase
2What is the purpose of phosphorylation?
- ARegulation of protein function via causing a conformational change to activate or inactivate it
- BFacilitation of hydrogen bond formation
- CRegulation of protein function to fine-tune its activity to be more specific
- DFacilitation of nucleation to form secondary protein structures
3Phosphorylation of a substrate means the addition of a highly [blank_start]negatively[blank_end] charged [blank_start]phosphate[blank_end], which means that it will then [blank_start]repel[blank_end] negative charges or [blank_start]attract[blank_end] positive charges relatively strongly. The phosphate is generally added to amino acids with [blank_start]hydroxyl[blank_end] ([blank_start]OH[blank_end]) groups in their side chains. Two examples of this include the Na+/K+ [blank_start]pump[blank_end] or the [blank_start]insulin[blank_end] receptor. Addition of the phosphate activates a [blank_start]glucose[blank_end] transporter to get glucose from the [blank_start]blood[blank_end] into the [blank_start]cell[blank_end].
- Anegatively
- Bphosphate
- Crepel
- Dattract
- Ehydroxyl
- FOH
- Gpump
- Hinsulin
- Iglucose
- Jblood
- Kcell
4What type of enzyme adds an OH group to a substrate
- AHydroxylase
- BAlkylase
- CCarboxylase
- DKinase
5Which of the following is CORRECT
- AHydroxylase requires Vitamin C as a cofactor to keep Fe3+ in its oxidised state
- BHydroxylase requires Vitamin C as a cofactor to keep Fe2+ in its reduced state
- CHydroxylase requires Vitamin K as a cofactor to keep Fe2+ in its reduced state
- DHydroxylase requires Vitamin K as a cofactor to keep Fe3+ in its oxidised state
6What is the function of the hydroxylase enzyme
- ATo facilitate hydrogen bond formation
- BTo facilitate the formation of covalent bonds with adjacent proteins
- CThe regulate protein function by turning it on and off due to the addition of an alkyl group
- DTo regulate protein function via the addition of a strong negative charge
7An example of where the hydroxylase enzyme is useful is in [blank_start]collagen[blank_end]. [blank_start]Collagen[blank_end] is made up of a [blank_start]triple[blank_end] stranded [blank_start]helix[blank_end] with lots of L[blank_start]ysine[blank_end] and P[blank_start]roline[blank_end] amino acids. By adding more h[blank_start]ydroxyl[blank_end] groups to these amino acids means there's plenty of opportunity for s[blank_start]tabilising[blank_end] [blank_start]hydrogen[blank_end] bonds to form between them and hold the structure together. Scurvy occurs when you have a vitamin [blank_start]C[blank_end] deficiency in your diet, so you don't have the [blank_start]co-factor[blank_end] for this reaction to occur and your collagen isn't strong enough.
- Acollagen
- BCollagen
- Ctriple
- Dhelix
- Eysine
- Froline
- Gydroxyl
- Htabilising
- Ihydrogen
- JC
- Kco-factor
8Which of the following is CORRECT
- AGamma carboxylation is the addition of another COO- group to glutamate to form glutamic acid (Gla)
- BGamma carboxylation is the addition of another COOH group to glutamate to form glutamic acid (Gla)
- CGamma carboxylation is the addition of another COOH group to glutamic acid (Gla) to form glutamate
- DGamma carboxylation is the addition of another COO- group to glutamic acid (Gla) to form glutamate
9Which of the following is CORRECT
- ACarboxylase requires vitamin K as a cofactor
- BHydroxylase requires vitamin K as a cofactor
- CCarboxylase requires vitamin C as a cofactor
- DCarboxylase does not require a cofactor
10Gamma carboxylation occurs in the [blank_start]blood[blank_end] [blank_start]clotting[blank_end] pathway, the addition of an extra [blank_start]COO-[blank_end] to [blank_start]Glutamate[blank_end] adds another [blank_start]negative[blank_end] charge, meaning that it can attract [blank_start]Ca2+[blank_end]. This causes a [blank_start]conformational[blank_end] change and [blank_start]activating[blank_end] the protein from its [blank_start]inactive[blank_end] form, setting off the pathway. Warfarin is a blood [blank_start]thinner[blank_end] which [blank_start]inhibits[blank_end] the Vitamin [blank_start]K[blank_end] [blank_start]reducing[blank_end] [blank_start]enzyme[blank_end] (as Vitamin K must be in its [blank_start]reduced[blank_end] form to act as a cofactor), which in turn inhibits the pathway activation so clots will not form inappropriately,
- Ablood
- Bclotting
- CCOO-
- DGlu
- Enegative
- FCa2+
- Gconformational
- Hactivates
- Iinactive
- Jthinner
- Kinhibits
- LK
- Mreducing
- Nenzyme
- Oreduced
11Gamma carboxylation is good for the activation of the blood clotting pathway as it is a post translation modification and means that the process can be activated quickly (rather than having to go through transcription translation etc)
