The Hill coefficients for NAD+ binding to the T. tenax GAPDH in the presence and absence of NADP+ were measured and are shown in the graph in Task 16. What is the significance of the change in value of the Hill coefficient? Is this consistent with the shape of the curves on the graph (sigmoidal versus hyperbolic)? Explain. Is the change in value of the Hill coefficient consistent with the information given in the table in Task 16 about the enzyme’s structure - cooperativity implies the enzyme has subunits - do the molecular weight data concur?
