If you wanted to improve the catalytic efficiency of an enzyme, would youmutate amino acid residues to increase/decrease binding affinity for thesubstrate, or to increase/decrease the binding of the transition state?Explain.Mutate amino acids to increase binding to the transition state because itincreases the activation energy; mutations that bind substrate moretightly decrease the activation energy.Mutate amino acids to decrease binding to the transition state becauseit increases the activation energy; mutations that bind substrate moretightly decrease the activation energy.Mutate amino acids to increase binding to the transition state because itdecreases the activation energy; mutations that bind substrate moretightly increase the activation energy.Mutate amino acids to increase binding to the substrate bind because itdecreases the activation energy; mutations that bind the transition statemore tightly increase the activation energy.

A potent inhibitor effectively inhibits an enzyme catalyzed reaction. What kind of a Ki value you would expect for a potent inhibitor?
In drug development, enzyme inhibition studies play a very important role since drugs are often used to target specific enzymes, as illustrated in the example of lovastatin. An important consideration when assessing drug potential is the drug's affinity for the selected target. (The higher the affinity, the better the candidate.) The K₁ is often used in studies to measure the affinity of drug candidates toward their target. Based on your understanding of K₁, which drug would be the BEST candidate for further development? Drug C: K₁= 9.1 x 107 M Drug E: K₁ = 3.5 × 10³ mm Drug D: K₁=5.5 × 10³ μM Drug B: K₁=2.5 × 10 mm Drug A: K₁=4.5 x 10 mm
A newly developed drug is suspected to act by inhibiting its enzymatic target. To test this, the rates of reaction in the presence and absence of the new drug were determined. The results of these experiments have been plotted as a double reciprocal plot shown in figure 1 below. Using this figure, calculate the values of Vmax and Km for the enzyme in the presence and absence of the drug. 2. Based on the figure and your answer, what type of inhibition is the new drug displaying? 3. Briefly explain how this type of inhibition exerts its action on an enzyme. Figure 1: Double reciprocal plot of reaction rate against substrate concentration in the presence and absence of a new drug.
Enzyme activity can be inhibited by inhibitors. Inhibitors can be bio-molecules or chemically synthesized molecules. Compare with explanation about the mechanism of competitive and non-competitive inhibitors.
Does the presence of an uncompetitive inhibitor increase / decrease the apparent affinity of the enzyme•substrate complex?Does the apparent KM increase / decrease in the presence of an uncompetitive inhibitor?
Number 4 please
Please type answer note write by hend.
How do non-competitive inhibitors affect KM and Vmax? (explain with details) Feedback inhibition typically impedes the activity of the enzyme that catalyzes the first committed step of a metabolic pathway, rather than an enzyme that catalyzes a later step in the pathway. Why is this adaptive?
Which of the following are true when enzymes and substrate interact? kı E + S ● ES- -P k-1 the rate of the formation of ES = k1 [ES] the rate of the formation of the product = k2[ES] k1 [ES] = k-1 [ES] the rate of breakdown of ES to reform the enzyme and substrate = K-1[E][S] the rate of formation of ES = k1[E][S]
You design an enzyme assay and choose a substrate concentration equal to the Km of the enzymatic reaction. You measure the rate of the reaction at this substrate concentration to be 75.0 μmol/min. Calculate the Vmax of this reaction in μmol/min. Express your answer with one decimal place. Your previous attempt suffered from low signal-to-noise ratio when you used a substrate concentration equal to the Km. So you decide to increase the substrate concentration to 0.45 mM. You remeasure the rate of the reaction at this new substrate concentration and find it to be 135.0 μmol/min. Using the same Vmax value found above, calculate the Km value of this enzymatic reaction. Express your answer in μM with one decimal place. Considering the previous two questions, what would be the rate of the reaction at a substrate concentration of 0.01 mM? Express your answer in μmol/min with one decimal place.
. The allosterically regulated enzyme ATCase binds aspartic acid as a substrate and acylates the a-amino group. Succinate acts as a competitive inhibitor of ATCase because it binds the active site but can't be acylated. The dependence of vo on [aspartic acid] for ATCase is shown in panel (a) of the accompanying figure. Panel (b) shows the effect of increasing [succinate] on v, when [Asp] is held at a low concentration (see thick vertical arrow in panel (a)). Note that in panel (b), vo is not zero when [succinate] =0 (see thin horizontal arrow). Explain the shape of the curve in panel (b). Why does v, increase initially, before decreasing at higher [succinate]? Co0- COO CH2 CH, HC -NH, CH, COO COO Asp Succinate [Asp) [Succinate] [Asp] in experiment b (a) (b)
Is the statement true or false?
