Question

merefice e types of reactions that these two enzymes catalyze? oamine oxidases are important enzymes in Oñoachemistry. Judging from the name, which of the following would be a suitable substrate for this class of enzymes: ?? (a) HO CH-CH NH2 (b) CH3-C-NC 23.9 On the basis of the classification given in Section 23-2, decide to which group each of the following enzymes belongs: (a) Phosphoglyceromutase -00C-CH-CH,--OP032 2 ?? 3-Phosphoglycerate -OOC-CH-CH,-OH OPO,2 2-Phosphoglycerate 23- b) Urease

Explanation / Answer

Monomamine oxidases, as the name suggests, catalyse the oxidation of monoamines. Monoamines are neurotransmitter molecules which contain an amino group connected to an aromatic ring by a chain of two carbon atoms. Therefore, the first molecule (a) would be an ideal substrate for the enzyme. The name of the molecule is p-Octopamine.
