Question

While furthering your studies of iocane powder you determine that a ceular enzyme, iocase will degrade it. Under normal conditions, iocase shows km 0f 1.85 uM and a kcat of 76. The drug sildenafil was found to have no effect on the km of iocanse yet the kcat was found to drop 58 minutes^-1, when the drug was added and no other changes were made in the reaction conditions. What can be inferred from this data? (remember kcat = vmax/et)

  1. Sildenafil acts as an uncompetitive inhibitor of iocanse 
  2. Sildenafil acts as a noncompetitive inhibitor of iocanse 
  3. The effect of sildenafil could be countered by adding more iocane to the reaction
  4. The y-intercept of the sildenafil inhibited iocanse would appear to be lower on a Lineweaver burke plot as compared to uninhibited iocanase
  5. The slope of a Lineweaver burke plot of the inhibited versus uninhibited iocanase would remain unchanged
