b) a nicotinamide structure that is readily oxidized
c) an n-linked glycosylation
d) a negatively charged phosphate group
a planar porphyrin ring that binds iron
Prosthetic groups are complex nonprotein molecules that participate in catalysis
by providing functional groups that form a covalent intermediate between the
enzyme and the substrate. Which of the following is an example of a coenzyme or
cofactor that participates in a covalent catalysis reaction?
a) ATP
b) OH-

Children with cystinosis have growth delay and renal issues to to accumulation
of cysteine in cellular lysosomes. The defect involves a specific lysosomal
membrane receptor that facilitates cysteine removal from the cell. An effective
therapy involves administration of a drug with a similar structure to cysteine. This
therapy reflects the general principle that competitive inhibitors typically
resemble the structure of which of the following?
a) substrates or ligands that bind the active site
