Chapter 8, Problem 46P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

V0 versus pH curve when the substrate concentration is much greater than the enzyme KM should be drawn.

Concept introduction:

KM is the Michaelis constant which is the substrate concentration when the reaction rate is half of the maximum rate achieved by a system. Michaelis constant is a measure of its binding affinity to a substrate. The higher the Michaelis constant, the lower affinity for its substrate. That means an enzyme with lower KM needs a higher concentration of substrate to achieve Vmax.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

V0 versus pH curve when the substrate concentration is much less than the enzyme KM should be drawn.

Concept introduction:

KM is the Michaelis constant which is the substrate concentration when the reaction rate is half of the maximum rate achieved by a system. Michaelis constant is a measure of its binding affinity to a substrate. The higher the Michaelis constant, lower affinity for its substrate. That means an enzyme with lower KM needs a higher concentration of substrate to achieve Vmax.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The pH at which the velocity will equal half of the maximal velocity attainable under these conditions should be determined.

Concept introduction:

KM is the Michaelis constant which is the substrate concentration when the reaction rate is half of the maximum rate achieved by a system. Michaelis constant is a measure of its binding affinity to a substrate. The higher the Michaelis constant, lower affinity for its substrate. That means for an enzyme with lower KM needs a higher concentration of substrate to achieve Vmax.

Show work. don't give Ai generated solution....give correct solution
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?)
