Chapter 8, Problem 26P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The rearrangement of the Michaelis-Menten equationfor obtaining the V0 as a function of V0/[S] needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The Michaelis-Menten equation relates the concentration of substrate with the velocity of the reaction. A constant which expresses the substrate’s concentration if the velocity of reaction equals to the half of the maximum velocity of the reaction is known as Michaelis-Menten constant. It is denoted by KM.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The significance of the slope, the y-intercept, and the x -intercept in a plot of V0 versus V0/[S] needs to be explained.

Concept introduction:

The Michaelis-Menten equation relates the concentration of substrate with the velocity of the reaction. A constant which expresses the substrate’s concentration if the velocity of reaction equals to the half of the maximum velocity of the reaction is known as Michaelis-Menten constant. It is denoted by KM.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The graph between V0 and V0/[S] in inhibitor’s absence, in the presence of a competitive inhibitor and noncompetitive inhibitor needs to be plotted.

Concept introduction:

A molecule that disturbs or inhibits the activity of an enzyme is known as enzyme inhibitor. The enzyme inhibition stops the generation of enzyme-substrate complex which, in turn, inhibits the formation of the product. The three main types of inhibition are competitive inhibition, uncompetitive inhibition and noncompetitive inhibition.

Which type of enzyme catalyses the following reaction? oxidoreductase, transferase, hydrolase, lyase, isomerase, or ligase.
Which features of the curves in Figure 30-2 indicates that the enzyme is not consumed in the overall reaction? ES is lower in energy that E + S and EP is lower in energy than E + P. What does this tell you about the stability of ES versus E + S and EP versus E + P.
Looking at the figure 30-5 what intermolecular forces are present between the substrate and the enzyme and the substrate and cofactors.
