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.

Do schwann cells produce or act as myelin in the peripheral nervous system? I know that they encase and wrap around axons, but where does the myelin come into play?
The enzyme lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) catalyzes the conversion of pyruvate to lactatein skeletal muscle cells using NAD/NADH during anaerobic “balanced” fermentation.Answer the following questions about this reaction. (a) Write out the two reductive half reactions and indicate the E ̊' for each half reaction. Write out the full balanced reaction for the pyruvate to lactate rxn and indicate the ∆E ̊' for the reaction. (b) What is the free energy change under standard state conditions for thisreaction? Which direction is spontaneous?(c) Assume that in skeletal muscle cells the ratio of [NAD+] to [NADH] is 100, and that the[pyruvate] = 0.40 mM and [lactate] = 4.0 mM. What is the free energy change (∆G')for the conversion of pyruvate to lactate? Indicate the direction in which the reactionis spontaneous under these cellular conditions.
Why did the authors worry about the temperature-dependent solubility of the carriers in thebilayer? How did the authors determine whether the effect of freezing the lipid bilayer wasto decrease the solubility of the carriers (nonactin and valinomycin) or whether the effectwas to impair their ability to diffuse through the membrane (decrease their mobility)?
