Answer:
a. The reaction is endothermic.
Explanation:
The heat involved in a chemical reaction is given by the enthalpy change (ΔH), which is equal to the balance between the chemical bonds that are broken (release energy) and the chemical bonds that are formed (need energy):
ΔH ≅ bonds broken - bonds formed
If broken bonds > bonds formed ⇒ ΔH > 0 ⇒ endothermic reaction
Therefore, the reaction is endothermic (it requires energy).
Answer:
C
Explanation:ABC is being broken down into A, B, C
Answer:
a. Gly-Lys + Leu-Ala-Cys-Arg + Ala-Phe
b. Glu-Ala-Phe + Gly-Ala-Tyr
Explanation:
In this case, we have to remember which peptidic bonds can break each protease:
-) <u>Trypsin</u>
It breaks selectively the peptidic bond in the carbonyl group of lysine or arginine.
-) <u>Chymotrypsin</u>
It breaks selectively the peptidic bond in the carbonyl group of phenylalanine, tryptophan, or tyrosine.
With this in mind in "peptide a", the peptidic bonds that would be broken are the ones in the <u>"Lis"</u> and <u>"Arg"</u> (See figure 1).
In "peptide b", the peptidic bond that would be broken is the one in the <u>"Phe"</u> (See figure 2). The second amino acid that can be broken is <u>tyrosine</u>, but this amino acid is placed in the <u>C terminal spot</u>, therefore will not be involved in the <u>hydrolysis</u>.
