Quantitative Relationships Between Rate Constants to Calculate Km, Kinetic Efficiency (kcat/Km) and Vmax - I Measurement of the rate constants for a simple enzymatic reaction obeying Michaelis-Menten kinetics gave the following results: k1=2108M1sec1k1=1103sec1k2=5103sec1a. What is Ks, the dissociation constant for the enzyme-substrate complex? b. What is Km, the Michaelis constant for this enzyme? c. What is kcat (the turnover number) for this enzyme? d. What is the catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km) for this enzyme? e. Does this enzyme approach kinetic perfection? (That is, does kcat/Km approach the diffusion-controlled rate of enzyme association with substrate?) f. If a kinetic measurement was made using 2 nanomoles of enzyme per mL and saturating amounts of substrate, what would Vmax equal? g. Again, using 2 nanomoles of enzyme per mL of reaction mixture, what concentration of substrate would give v = 0.75 Vmax? h. If a kinetic measurement was made using 4 nanomoles of enzyme per mL and saturating amounts of substrate, what would Vmax equal? What would Km equal under these conditions?arrow_forwardAnswers to all problems are at the end of this book.

(Research Problem) The Nature and Roles of Linear Motifs in Proteins In addition to domains and modules, there are other significant sequence patterns in proteins—known as linear motifs—that are associated with a particular function. Consult the biochemical literature to answer the following questions: 1. What are linear motifs? 2. How are they different from domains?. 3. What are their functions? 4. How can they be characterized? 5. There are several papers that are good starting points for this problem. Neduva, V., and Russell, R., 2005. Linear motifs: evolutionary interaction switches.
