Question
Studies were carried out to investigate some kinetic properties of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) extracted from Lepus townsendii liver. Incubation of ALP extract with 4- nitrophenylphosphate (4-NPP) formed the basis for determination of enzyme activity. Spectrophotometric method was used to assay the enzyme activity, and the kinetic constants- maximum enzyme velocity (Vmax) and Michealis-Menten constant (Km) were evaluated. Figure 2 shows the Lineweaver-Burk plot of ALP assay in the presence of inhibitor NaH;PO4 (0) and the control (+) analysis. [I]: concentration of inhibitor = 0.67 mM. 1/V, uM*min x 104 40- 30 20 y-Intercept 10 x-intercept -1/K. (1+ [1]/K)/ 12 1/[S)x 102 (M) Figure2 (i) Estimate Km and Vmax in the absence and presence of the inhibitor. (ii) What is the type of inhibition illustrated by the inhibitor? Explain.
