Course Introduction

Advanced Biochemistry Exam Preparation Guide

Advanced Biochemistry builds upon foundational biochemical principles to explore the molecular mechanisms underpinning biological processes at a deeper level. This course covers topics such as enzyme kinetics and regulation, advanced metabolic pathways, protein and nucleic acid structure and function, and the integration of cellular signaling networks. Emphasis is placed on the latest research techniques, including molecular modeling, spectroscopic analysis, and omics technologies. Students will critically analyze primary literature, engage in experimental design, and develop a deeper understanding of the molecular basis of health and disease.

Sample Questions

Q1) Phosphoglucomutase catalyses the reaction in which a phosphate group is transferred from the 1 carbon of glucose to the 6 carbon of glucose (G1P \(\rightleftarrows\) G6P).A student at SDSU incubates a 0.2 M solution of glucose-1-phosphate overnight with a small amount of the enzyme.At equilibrium the concentration of glucose 1-phosphate is 9.0 × 10<sup> </sup><sup>3</sup> M and the concentration of glucose 6-phosphate is 19.1 × 10<sup> </sup><sup>2</sup> M. Calculate the equilibrium constant (K<sub>eq</sub>)and the standard state free energy ( G°')for this reaction at 25°C.

Answer: The equilibrium constant K<sub>eq</sub> = [G6P]eq/[G1P]eq = 19.1 × 10<sup> </sup><sup>2</sup> M/ 9.0 × 10<sup> </sup><sup>3</sup> M = 21.

\(\Delta\)G° = RTlnK<sub>eq</sub> = 8.3145 × 298 J/mol × ln 21.2 = 7,600 J/mol.

Q2) Explain in one or two sentences why scientists believe that all living organisms are related (that they have all evolved from a common ancestor)? Answer: Biochemically, all living organisms are very similar.
