- Sketch and label a plot showing the enzyme's initial velocity relative to pH over the pH range 4 - 9 for the enzyme-catalyzed reaction under these two conditions: A. The substrate concentration is very, very high. B. The substrate concentration is less than the enzyme's Km.arrow_forwardThe FMO3 enzyme has an important physiological function in people. State the normal substrate of FMO3 in people and describe a genetic polymorphism that can reduce the activity of this enzyme. Describe the consequence to people with the reduced FMO3 activity. Give at least one reference from the primary literature (i.e. a scientific journal) to support your answer.arrow_forwardConsider these three sketches: B A HHHH A A Which sketches represent the action of an enzyme? Check none of them if none of them do. And finally, for that same sketch, what is C? B |HH| For that same sketch, what is B? Again your answer should be a word or very short phrase.

- 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.arrow_forwardPlease choose one of these answers A. An allosteric inhibitor appeared B.

- 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. Based on the figure and your answer, what type of inhibition is the new drug displaying? Briefly explain how this type of inhibition exerts its action on an enzyme.arrow_forwardEnzymes can be regulated in a many different ways. Covalent modification is one way. Here, the functional groups are attached to or removed from the enzyme. A phosphate group is an example of a functional group that can be added to an enzyme. Depending on the enzyme, addition of a phosphate group can either increase or decrease an enzyme's activity. Evaluate the following names and identify the general name of an enzyme that functions to add phosphate groups to its substrate?
