(a)

Summary Introduction

To explain: The type of inhibition when 5nM of reversible inhibitor yields a Vmax of 80% of value in the absence of the inhibitor and the KM value is unchanged.

Concept introduction: Enzymes are biological protein catalysts which alter the speed of the reaction in the biological system. Enzyme inhibitors are those that block the enzyme activity. KM is the Michaelis-Menton constant. KM value is not a direct measure of the affinity of the enzyme towards the substrate, but the concentration of S, where the velocity at maximum is half. Vmax is the maximum velocity which the enzyme catalyzes the reaction.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To explain: The proportion of enzyme molecules bound to the inhibitor when 5nM of reversible inhibitor yields a Vmax of 80% of value in the absence of the inhibitor.

Concept introduction: Enzymes are biological protein catalysts which alter the speed of the reaction in the biological system. Enzyme inhibitors are those that block the enzyme activity. KM is the Michaelis-Menton constant. KM value is not a direct measure of the affinity of the enzyme towards the substrate, but the concentration of S, where the velocity at maximum is half.

Summary Introduction

To calculate: Inhibition constant

Concept introduction: Enzymes are biological protein catalysts which alter the speed of the reaction in the biological system. Enzyme inhibitors are those that block the enzyme activity. KM is the Michaelis-Menton constant. KM value is not a direct measure of the affinity of the enzyme towards the substrate, but the concentration of S, where the velocity at maximum is half.

Biochemistry What is the process of "transamination" in either the muscles or the liver, that involves keto acid or glutamic acid? Please explain how the steps work. Thank you!
Biochemistry Please help. Thank you What is the importance of glutamic acid in the metabolism of nitrogen from amino acids? (we know therole; it’s used to remove the nitrogen from amino acids so that the remaining carbon skeleton can bebroken down by the “usual” pathways, but what is the important, unique role that only glutamicacid/glutamate can do?)
Biochemistry Please help. Thank you When carbamyl phosphate is joined to L-ornathine, where does the energy for the reaction come from?
