A fatty acid hydroxylase enzyme has a Km for palmitic acid of 9.97 micromolar and a turnover rate of 1212.3 micromole substrate per minute per micromole enzyme. If 63 nanomolar enzyme is mixed. with an unknown concentration of substrate and the reaction rate was 53.69 micromolar substrate per minute, how much substrate was in the reaction to start with? Report your answer in micromolar to the nearest 0.1 uM.

. Describe the lock-and-key model for enzymes. Why are the shapes of the enzyme and its substrate important in this model? What does it mean to say that an enzyme is inhibited by a particular molecule? What happens if this inhibition is irreversible? Can you think of a situation in which it might be advantageous to be able to inhibit an enzyme?
Compare the lock-and-key and induced-fit models for substrate binding to an enzyme.
Compare the activation energy in uncatalyzed reactions and in enzyme-catalyzed reactions.
Describe the difference between graphs showing temperature versus reaction rate for an enzyme-catalyzed reaction and an uncatalyzed reaction.
8 The optimal temperature for the action of lactate dehydrogenase is 36°C. It is irreversibly inactivated at 85°C, but a yeast containing this enzyme can survive for months at —10°C. Explain how this can happen.
The figure below shows the dependence of the enzyme's rate, v (in uM/min), as a function of substrate concentration, S (in mM). Also shown is the dependence of the rate in the presence of an inhibitor, present at a concentration of 0.2 mM. Based on this information, the Vmax of the enzyme is approximately: 1/v 1- 0.5 1/[S] O A. 0.25 pM/min O B. 0.5 pM/min O C. 1.0 uM/min D. 2 pM/min O E. 4 µM/min
Can you please help explain how to approach these two problems of calculating the turnover number and average time?
