Concept Introduction:
Enzyme:
- It is a protein or a molecule which can act as a catalyst for a biological reaction.
- Does not affect the equilibrium point of the reaction.
- Active site of the enzyme is the region where the reaction takes place.

- You have been the only one who has been able to this. It has three other parts as well, A) Which Enzyme Catalyzes this reaction? choices are in image provided. B) What is ∆G°' for this reaction? Answer in Joules. K' = 19 C) If the concentration of Glucose-1-phosphate is 48.82 µM at equilibrium, what is the concentration of Glucose-6-phosphate in µM? D) If the reaction is not at equilibrium, what is ∆G' at 25°C if the concentration of Glucose-1-phosphate is 15.04µM and the concentration of Glucose-6-phosphate is 1.62 mM? Answer in Joules. Pay attention to units. Round to the correct number of significant figures. There are 103 µM in 1mM. Thank you and you are the winner for Genius of the day!!arrow_forwardAn enzyme has a single active site at which it can bind and hydrolyze either X or Y; however, the enzyme cannot bind X and Y at the same time. Answer the following questions regarding the Km and Vmax of this enzyme. (a) Will the Km for X be affected if Y is present in the reaction mixture? Explain. (b) Will Vmax for X be affected if Y is present in the reaction mixture? Explain. (a) No, X competes with Y for binding, so the apparent Km for X will stay the same. (b) Yes, the Vmax for X will decrease in the presence of Y. (a) No, Y does not compete with X for binding, so the apparent Km for X will stay the same. (b) No, the Vmax for X will be unaffected by the presence of Y.arrow_forwardSoy sauce is prepared in a CLOSED tank by fermenting a salted mixture of soybeans and wheat with yeast, over a period of 8 to 12 months. The resulting sauce (after solids are removed) is rich in ethanol. (a) How is ethanol produced in the resulting soy sauce? What is the importance of this process? Include the enzymes involved. (b) Could ethanol be produced when the reaction mixture is incubated in an OPEN tank?arrow_forward
- Idris has successfully extracted enzymatic proteins from the fish viscera (intestines and stomach). After homogenization and centrifugation, he managed to pool the crude enzyme extract. He is characterizing the enzymes. Please help Idris by answering the followingquestions: (a) How do I run the experiment to find the kinetic properties of the enzyme, KMand Vmax? (b) The enzyme decreased in activity in the presence of NaCl. How do I find out if NaCl is a competitive or non-competitive inhibitor? Explain.arrow_forwardYou will perform the protocol below for the calf intestinal alkaline phosphatase (CIP) provided. For each reaction, your final enzyme concentration should be 10 nM CIP. Note: Enzymes purchased are typically labelled with their “units of activity” (U), as this relates to how much enzyme is needed to catalyze a reaction. The 100 nM CIP provided has approximately 3 U/mL and was diluted 1 in 1,000 from a 500 U/mL purchased enzyme. 1) Create a table (similar to the one below) to help you determine and keep track of what to add to each of the cuvettes in which your reactions will be measured. The five different concentrations of PNPP should be: 25, 50, 100, 200, 300 μM. Each reaction will be in a final volume of 1 mL and contain 10 nM alkaline phosphatase. Concentrations of stock solutions: 1.0 mM PNPP, 100 nM calf intestinal phosphatasearrow_forward(i) Which graph indicates an enzymatic reaction without inhibitor?(ii) Which type of inhibitor is it?
