Answer:

This is an allosteric enzyme showing a double-displacement mechanism

(ping-pong mechanism) and during purification a heterotrophic activator is purified away.

Explanation:

Double-displacement mechanism involves the reaction in which no ternary complex is formed. An enzyme-substrate complex forms, a product leaves the complex, altered enzyme forms a second complex with another substrate molecule, and the second product leaves, regenerating the enzyme.

So, during the early stages of an enzyme purification protocol, when cells have been lysed but cytosolic components have not been separated, the reaction velocity versus substrate concentration is sigmoidal. As you continue to purify the enzyme, the curve shifts to the right, because of an allosteric enzyme showing a double-displacement mechanism and during purification, a heterotrophic activator is purified.

Answer:

The enzyme is an allosteric enzyme that has double-displacement, thereby being purified a heterotrophic activator

Explanation:

The term heterotrophic activator refers to when the substrate and the regulator in a chemical reaction correspond to different molecules

Answer:

The two main reasons are nonpolar core of the bilayer and the active transport.

Explanation:

The membrane is structured to have two outer layers that are polar and an inner layer that is nonpolar.

If a membrane protein is exposed to the solvent, i<em>t will also have a polar side. It would be very difficult for the polar face of the membrane to move through the nonpolar core of the bilayer.</em> Therefore, this model is not feasible.

One major form of transport, active transport, moves solutes up the concentration gradient. <em>The binding of a solute and then release on another side of the membrane would only work for facilitated diffusion because it would cause a net movement of solutes down the concentration gradient.</em> It is unclear how energy could be expended to drive this process in the transverse carrier model.<em> Therefore, the transverse carrier model does not explain active transport.</em>
