Question
11. Applying the Michaelis-Menten Equation III Aresearch
group discovers a new version of happyase, which they call hap-
pyase*, that catalyzes the chemical reaction HAPPY = SAD.
The researchers begin to characterize the enzyme.
(a) In the first experiment, with [E] at 4 nM, they find that
the Vnux is 1.6 M s, Based on this experiment, what is the
kat for happyase*? (Include appropriate units.)
(b) In another experiment, with [E] at 1 nM and [HAPPY]
at 30 LM, the researchers find that V, = 300 IM s. What is the
measured K of happyase* for its substrate HAPPY? (Include
appropriate units.)
(c) Further research shows that the purified happyase*
used in the first two experiments was actually contaminated
with a reversible inhibitor called ANGER. When ANGER is
carefully removed from the happyase* preparation and the
two experiments repeated, the measured Vmax in (a) is in-
creased to 4.8 uM S,
pIM. For the inhibitor ANGER, calculate the values of a and o
(d) Based on the information given above, what type of
and the measured Km in (b) is now 15
inhibitor is ANGER?
