In a lab experiment involving temperature and a glycolytic enzyme isolated from E. coli, you notice the reaction rate increases as temperature increases until the temperature reaches 50 degrees Celsius at which time the reaction rate rapidly decreases. How would you explain the decrease in reaction rate at high temperatures? (best answer) O there is a mistake in your experiment as reaction rates should continue to increase as temperature is increased at high temperatures, because of the high speed with which the molecules are moving, when they collide with the enzymes, the enzymes are denatured and thus lose function O at high temperatures, the substrate is destroyed O at high temperatures, there is a great decrease in activation energy for the reaction until there is no more activation energy remaining

Would you expect an “enzyme” designed to bind to its target substrate astightly as it binds the reaction transition state to show a rate enhancementover the uncatalyzed reaction? In other words, would such a protein actuallybe a catalyst? Explain why or why not.
An enzyme is discovered that catalyzes the chemical reaction A team of motivated researchers sets out to study the enzyme, which they callhappyase. They find that the kcat for happyase is 600 s−1 and carry out several additional experiments.When [Et] = 20 nM and [SAD] = 40 μM, the reaction velocity, V0, is 9.6μM s−1. Calculate Km for the substrate SAD.

If you graph the velocity of an enzymecatalyzed reaction vs. [S] for each of two substrates that are partof a random mechanism, would you expect to see the same shapecurve? Why or why not?
Please handraw this graph with all the necessary detailed information: Imagine that I text enzyme rate for four different temperatures: 10 degrees celsius, 20 degrees celsisus, 30 degree celsius, and 40 degree celsius, in separate tubes. The enzyme appears to work faster as temperature increases, but completely ceases activity at 40 degrees celcius. Sketch a graph to show this outcome, but here you will graph product formation (nmoles/mL) vs. time (minutes). The graph should be 4 lines and HANDDRAWN. Include a legend if necessary. You do not need precise quantitivate values, but most show the correct trends on the graph.
