Published 08/28/2024 The regulatory strategy that involves conformational changes by a nonsubstrate compound and cooperativity is called {{c1::allosteric}} regulation
Published 08/28/2024 The regulatory strategy that involves reversible binding of a modifying group to the enzyme is called {{c1::covalent}} regulation
Published 08/28/2024 The regulatory strategy that is irreversible and involves proteolytic cleavage to active is called {{c1::proteolytic}} activation
Published 08/28/2024 What three things bind in the active site of carbonic anhydrase?{{c1::Zinc, water, and carbon dioxide}}
Published 08/28/2024 What does carbonic anhydrase do to the CO2 released from tissues ?{{c1::It converts in inside the red blood cell to HCO3- which gets released into the…
Published 08/28/2024 What does carbonic anhydrase do to eliminate the body of CO2 at the lungs?{{c1::HCO3- is taken in from the bloodstream and converted from the enzyme i…
Published 08/28/2024 Carbonic anhydrase is an example of {{c1::metal ion}} catalysis
Published 08/28/2024 {{c1::Feedback inhibition}} occurs when an {{c2::end product}} of a metabolic pathways inhibits an enzyme {{c3::earlier in the pathway}}.
Published 08/28/2024 An example of {{c1::cooperativity}} is when the binding of oxygen to one subunit in hemoglobin causes conformational changes to the other subunits in …
Published 08/28/2024 Phosphorylation is mediated by {{c1::kinases}} and dephosphorylation is mediated by {{c1::phosphatases}}.
Published 08/28/2024 {{c1::Serine proteases}} are proteolytic enzymes that are common {{c2::digestive enzymes}}. 
Published 08/28/2024 The amino acids involved in the catalytic triad in serine proteases are {{c1::serine, histidine, and aspartate}}.
Published 08/28/2024 Trypsin inhibition comes from two sources: {{c1::trypsin inhibitor from the pancreas}} and {{c2::competition from benzamidine}}
Published 08/28/2024 In the blood clotting cascade, {{c1::thrombin}} converts {{c2::fibrinogen}} to {{c3::fibrin}}
Published 08/28/2024 {{c1::Thrombin}} releases {{c2::fibrinopeptides A and B}} to cleave fibrinogen which enables {{c3::self assembly of fibrin}}.
Published 08/28/2024 {{c1::Vitamin K}} inhibits {{c2::activation of prothrombin}}, thus acting as an {{c3::anticoagulant}}.
Published 08/28/2024 {{c2::Plasmin}} is activated through proteolytic cleavage due to the activity of {{c1::tissue-type plasminogen activator (TPA)}}
