There are 4 pages with questions. All information is the same in all exam copies, but the question order may differ. Each page is worth approximately 25%. To receive proper credit for your answer, you must write your name on the first page only, and on all other pages write only an ID code consisting of your birth date plus a 5-letter word of your choice (e.g., 08/16/90, gauss). Pages will be separated for grading and later reassembled. It is essential that your ID code be on each question page and the cove page. Please do it now. Please do it legibly. One point will be deducted for each page without an ID code. The use of ID codes makes the grading anonymous. Please check the class for which you are registered; one point will be deducted for failure to do so. Information you will need is provided on the last page. That information page can be torn off and used as scrap paper, and you may use the back of this cover page as scrap paper. But be sure to turn in this cover page. No electronic devices other than simple (scientific) calculators (non-graphing) are allowed, either visible or on your person-- no cell phones, Blackberries, IPods, etc. All electronic devices must be stored in briefcases or backpacks, not on your person. Please keep these items under your seat. Students found to have a cell phone on their person (e.g., in a pocket) will receive a zero for the exam. Use pen and no white-out. If you must change your answer, cross it out and use the back of the same page. If you use pencil a regrade is not possible. However, regrades are rare anyway. When choices are presented, unless instructed otherwise, circle what you consider to be the best answer or answers and provide an explanation of your reasoning for choosing your answers. Your explanation should show how you arrived at your answer, not just repeat it or the question. Think of trying to explain your answer to a classmate. Try to list or explain all the critical steps in your reasoning that led you to your answer. If you present some correct reasoning, you may earn partial credit. But no partial credit can be given if you provide no explanation at all, so try to write something for every question requiring an explanation (which is almost all of them). Don’t leave blank white spaces, write something. On the other hand: You should limit your answer to the space provided for each question. If you must cross out some writing, use additional space for your answer on the back of the SAME page on which the question appears, but limit your total writing to occupy the same amount of space as was originally provided. Use of more space for irrelevant information may result in the deduction of credit. Pages are separated for grading and the last page without questions will be discarded, so if you do need more space for your answer because of crossing out, be sure to use the back of the SAME page. Do not use the last information page for any answers, as these will be discarded. Note that academic dishonesty is dealt with severely at Columbia. The instructors give an F for the course and refer the matter to the Dean. Expulsion is a common outcome, with no second chances. Please complete the following pledge: “I affirm that I will not plagiarize, use unauthorized materials, or give or receive illegitimate help on assignments, papers, or examinations. I will also uphold equity and honesty in the evaluation of my work and the work of others. I do so to sustain a community built around this Code of Honor.” Student signature_____________________________________________ Intro Bio Exam 2 Oct. 22, 2015 ID code_____KEY________________ 1) E. coli contains the enzyme L-alanine-dehydrogenase that catalyzes the reaction: + L-ala + NAD à pyruvate + NH3 + NADH + H and can grow in a minimal medium containing alanine as the sole source of carbon and energy in the presence of oxygen. 1A. How many net moles of ATP could be produced from ADP per mole of L-ala? _18___. 1 from substrate level phosphorylation in the KC (GTP) 3 from the 1 NADH from the ala dehydrogenase reaction 3 from the 1 NADH produced in the pre-entry reaction to the KC 9 from the 3 NADH’s produced in the KC 2 from the 1 FADH2 produced in the KC 18 total. 1B. Would you expect E. coli to be able to grow in a minimal medium containing alanine as the sole source of carbon and energy in the absence of oxygen? (yes) (no) (can’t predict). Whether you answered yes or no, approximately how many net moles of ATP could be produced from ADP per mole of L-ala? (Consider only the long run (i.e., do not consider very short term effects). _0_ One mole of NAD is consumed in the conversion of 1 mole of alanine to pyruvate and a mole of NADH is consumed in the conversion of pyruvate to lactate, which is the only way E. coli could shuttle the NADH back to NAD. Thus the NAD could be used and regenerated but there is no energy that is recoverable from these two reactions in the absence of air. 1C. Suppose the ΔG° of the alanine dehydrogenase reaction (measured in vitro) is +8 kcal/mole. If this reaction starts with 0.001M of each component and is allowed to reach equilibrium the final ratio of pyruvate to L-alanine in the absence of alanine dehydrogenase, would be (<1) (1) (>1) and in the presence of the enzyme it would be (<1) (1) (>1). A positive ΔG° indicates that the reaction is endergonic, requiring free energy to proceed, so little pyruvate would accumulate. An enzyme does not affect this energetic relationship, which is governed solely by the relative stabilities of the reactants and products. 1D. Suppose E. coli cells are growing on alanine as the only carbon source. Within these cells, you would expect the ΔG° for the alanine dehydrogenase reaction to be (<8) (8) (>8) (can’t predict how many) kcal/mole and the ΔG for this reaction to be (<8) (8) (>8) (how should I know??) kcal/mole. ΔG° is the standard change in free energy for the reaction above under set standard conditions and is a constant regardless of the environment. Since the E. coli cells are growing using alanine, alanine is being metabolized and the alanine DH reaction is the first step. Therefore the alanine DH reaction must be flowing to the right despite the unfavorable ΔG°, undoubtedly being pulled forward by more favorable downstream reactions. Intro Bio Exam 2 Oct. 22, 2015 ID code_____KEY________________ 2. 2. Consider an enzyme for which k3<<< k2 and its Km is 0.0001M. It is studied at a concentration [Eo]. Suppose a non- competitive inhibitor at a concentration of [N] reduces the measured turnover number of this enzyme from 1000 sec-1 to 500 sec-1. Further suppose that a competitive inhibitor of this enzyme at a concentration of [C] increases the apparent (measured) Km of the enzyme to 0.0004M. 2A. In the presence of the 2 inhibitors at [N] and [C], the apparent (measured) Km should be: (0.0001M) (between 0.0001M and 0.0004M) (0.0004M) (>0.0004M) and the calculated apparent turnover number should be: (0) (<500) (500) (between 500 and 1000) (1000) (>1000) sec-1. In the presence of both inhibitors, the maximum Vo will be ½ the Vmax in the absence of the inhibitor due to the effect of the non-competitive inhibitor on k3. The approach to this Vmax will be determined by the apparent Km in the presence of the competitive inhibitor, reaching ½ of the new Vmax at a [S} of 0.0004M. 2B. Draw a diagram showing the shape of two curves for Vo vs. [S] for this enzyme: 1) in the absence of any inhibitors and 2) in the simultaneous presence of both of these inhibitors at concentrations [N] and [C] as was used above. Plot only these 2 conditions. Label the Km’s and Vmax’s. The majority of the credit for this question 2 lies in the diagram. 3.A protein contains no cysteines (sulfhydryls). When subjected to native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis or SDS- polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis it yields a single band, but when electrophoresed in a similar polyacrylamide gel containing 6M urea it yields 2 bands. Migration is toward the anode (+ pole) in all cases. This protein probably has subunits with: (the same molecular weight) (different molecular weights) (can’t predict) AND (the same net charge) (different net charges) (can’t predict). Circle an answer from each group of 3 and explain the results of all 3 electrophereses. Since 2 bands are evident in one of the separations there must be at least 2 subunits in this protein. Since the 2 subunits migrated identically (single band) in SDS, they must have the same MW. Since they migrated differently (2 bands) in urea where there was no SDS to impart a uniform charge, they would migrate according to their different inherent net charge despite their same MW.

  • Purification and Characterization of Alanine Dehydrogenase from a Cyanobacterium, Phormidium Lapideum
    J. Biochem. 116, 995-1000 (1994) Purification and Characterization of Alanine Dehydrogenase from a Cyanobacterium, Phormidium lapideum Yoshihiro Sawa,1 Masaaki Tani, Ken Murata, Hitoshi Shibata, and Hideo Ochiai Department of Applied Biochemistry, Faculty of Agriculture, Shimane University, Matsue, Shimane 690 Received for publication, May 12, 1994 Alanine dehydrogenase (AlaDH) was purified to homogeneity from cell-free extracts of a non-N2-fixing filamentous cyanobacterium, Phormidium lapideum. The molecular mass of the native enzyme was 240kDa, and SDS-PAGE revealed a minimum molecular mass of 41 kDa, suggesting a six-subunit structure. The NH2 terminal amino acid residues of the purified AlaDH revealed marked similarity with that of other AlaDHs. The enzyme was highly specific for L-alanine and NAD+, but showed relatively low amino-acceptor specificity. The pH optimum was 8.4 for reductive amination of pyruvate and 9.2 for oxidative deamination of L-alanine. The Km values were 5.0mM for L-alanine and 0.04mM for NAD+, 0.33mM for pyruvate, 60.6mM for NH4+ (pH 8.7), and 0.02mM for NADH. Various L-amino acids including alanine, serine, threonine, and aromatic amino acids, inhibited the aminating reaction. The enzyme was inactivated upon incubation with pyridoxal 5•L-phosphate (PLP) followed by reduction with sodium borohydride. The copresence of NADH and pyruvate largely protected the enzyme against the inactivation by PLP. Key words: alanine dehydrogenase, cyanobacterium, Phormidium lapideum. Alanine dehydrogenase [L-alanine: NAD+ oxidoreductase, enzymological and regulatory aspects of AlaDH from deaminating, EC 1.4.1.1] catalyzes a reversible oxidative cyanobacteria, we have purified the enzyme from a non deamination of L-alanine to pyruvate and is found in -N2-fixing thermophilic cyanobacterium, Phormidium lapi Bacillus species and some other bacteria (1, 2).

The latter are used in a diversity of applications, such as the synthesis of fine chemicals. The high enantioselectivity of ω-TAs that is often observed in asymmetric amination reactions makes them especially attractive for the preparation of chiral building blocks for pharmaceutical synthesis.

  • The Enzymes in Ammonia Assimilation Pathways Have Been Examined in a Strictly Anaerobic Bacterium Bacteroides Fragilis
    J. Gen. Appl. Microbiol., 30, 499-508 (1984) THE PATHWAY OF AMMONIA ASSIMILATION IN BACTEROIDES FRAGILIS ISAMU YAMAMOTO, ATSUKO ABE, HIROYUKI SAITO AND MAKOTO ISHIMOTO Department of Chemical Microbiology, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Hokkaido University, Kita-ku, Sapporo 060 (Received January 21, 1985) The enzymes in ammonia assimilation pathways have been examined in a strictly anaerobic bacterium Bacteroides fragilis. The activities of NADPH- and NADH-linked glutamate dehydrogenase and glutamine synthetase were demonstrated in extracts of cells, but very low activity of NADPH-dependent glutamate synthase and no activity of alanine de- hydrogenase were demonstrated. Both activities of the glutamate de- hydrogenase were not distinguished electrophoretically, indicating the presence of a dual pyridine nucleotide-specific enzyme. At low concentra- tions of ammonia in batch cultures and at low dilution rates of continuous flow cultures, higher activities of glutamate dehydrogenase were found in the cells. The values of Km of NADPH-linked glutamate dehydrogenase were 0.8 mM, 0.15 mM, and 7 uM for ammonia, 2-oxoglutarate, and NADPH, respectively. Although glutamine synthetase activity was also higher in cultures with limited ammonia and at low dilution rates of con- tinuous cultures, this enzyme may not be important for ammonia incor- poration into amino acids, since cell growth was not affected by the ad- dition to the culture of methionine sulfoximine, a glutamine synthetase inhibitor. This evidence suggests that ammonia assimilation is mainly carried out by the glutamate dehydrogenase in B. fragilis. Glutamate and glutamine are the important intermediates in biosynthesis of cell materials of organisms. Two pathways have been known to be mainly in- volved in ammonia incorporation into glutamate in many bacteria (1, 2).

In this review, we explore the application of ω-TAms for pharmaceutical production. We discuss the diverse array of reactions available involving ω-TAms and process considerations of their use in both kinetic resolution and asymmetric synthesis. With the aid of specific drug intermediates and APIs, we chart the development of ω-TAms using protein engineering and their contribution to elegant one-pot cascades with other enzymes, including carbonyl reductases (CREDs), hydrolases and monoamine oxidases (MAOs), providing a comprehensive overview of their uses, beginning with initial applications through to the present day. CONTENTS approaches to pharmaceutical production often have a number of drawbacks, including harsh reaction conditions, the need for 1. Introduction A 1.1.

  • Amfep Guidance on REACH Pre-Registration of Enzymes
    Amfep/08/44 30 May 2008 Amfep guidance on REACH pre-registration of enzymes 1. Purpose and timing During the period 1 June to 1 December 2008, European enzyme manufacturers and importers can pre-register the enzyme substances currently manufactured in EU and imported into the EU for technical applications. Manufacturers and importers inside the EU may appoint Third Party Representatives to remain anonymous and if based outside the EU, they may appoint Only Representatives. The pre-registration provision of REACH enables substances to remain on the market subject to later registration in 2010, 2013 or 2018, depending on tonnage. Pre-registration is made to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) and result in the formation of a Substance Information Exchange Forum (SIEF) per enzyme. ECHA will publish a list of pre- registered substances by 1 January 2009. Amfep has formed a pre-consortium of members and associated manufacturing companies to prepare enzyme (pre-) registrations and SIEF discussions. The Amfep secretariat can be contacted for further information and on questions related to enzyme pre-registrations. This document is intended to facilitate pre-registration of enzymes. References are given to detailed guidance on enzyme identification, pre-registration and other REACH requirements. However, it must be considered as guidance only. Each potential registrant remains fully responsible for selecting its enzymes and making individual pre-registrations. 2. Scope Enzymes listed on the European chemicals inventory EINECS are considered phase-in (‘existing’) substances and can be pre-registered. Enzymes manufactured in the EU at least once after 31 May 1992, without being placed on the EU market by the manufacturer or importer, are regarded as phase-in substances.

    Upgraded Bioelectrocatalytic N2 Fixation: From N2 to Chiral Amine Intermediates Hui Chen, † Rong Cai,† Janki Patel, † Fangyuan Dong,† Hsiaonung Chen,† and Shelley D. Minteer*,† † Departments of Chemistry and Materials Science & Engineering, University of Utah, 315 South 1400 East, RM 2020, Salt Lake City, Utah 84010, United States * Corresponding Author: Shelley D. Minteer ([email protected]) KEYWORDS: N2 fixation, Bioelectrocatalysis, Multi‐enzyme cascade, Chiral amine chemical, Coenzyme regeneration ABSTRACT: Enantiomerically pure chiral amines are of increasing value in the preparation of bioactive compounds, phar‐ maceuticals, and agrochemicals. ω‐transaminase (ω‐TA) is an ideal catalyst for the asymmetric amination as its excellent enantioselectivity and wide substrate scope. To shift the equilibrium of reactions catalyzed by ω‐TA to the side of amine product, an upgraded N2 fixation system based on bioelectrocatalysis was developed to realize the conversion from N2 to chiral amine intermediates. The produced NH3 was in situ reacted by L‐alanine dehydrogenase to perform the alanine gen‐ eration with NADH as a coenzyme. ω‐TA transferred the amino group from alanine to ketone substrates and finally pro‐ duced desired chiral amine intermediates. The cathode of the upgraded N2 fixation system supplied enough reducing power to synchronously realize the regeneration of reduced methyl viologen (MV.+) and NADH for the nitrogenase and L‐alanine dehydrogenase. The co‐product, pyruvate, was consumed by L‐alanine dehydrogenase to regenerate alanine and push the equilibrium to the side of amine. After 10 hours of reaction, the concentration of 1‐methyl‐3‐phenylpropylamine achieved 0.54 mM with the 27.6% highest faradaic efficiency and >99% enantiomeric excess (eep).
