In some insects, such as Drosophila, fungal cell wall elements can activate the protein Toll. What is Tollʹs function?

#Section 2: General Biology
  1. acts as a receptor that, when activated, signals synthesis of antimicrobial peptides

  2. functions directly to attack the fungi presented to it

  3. produces antimicrobial peptides by interaction with chitin

  4. secretes special recognition signal molecules that identifies specific pathogens

Many biosynthetic pathways are regulated by feedback inhibition of enzymes. In a particular type of feedback inhibition, two endproducts individually do not inhibit an enzyme upstream in the pathway at all, but when both are present they inhibit the same enzyme significantly. What type of feedback inhibition do these inhibitors represent?

For the hypothetical reversible reaction where S is converted to P, the rate constant for the forward reaction is 105 s-1 while that of the backward reaction is 101 s-1. If the reaction is catalyzed by an enzyme, the rate constant for the forward reaction increases 100-fold. What will be the equilibrium constant of the enzyme catalyzed reaction?
