Assume that an inhibitor (I) can bind to an enzyme and is modified by the enzyme. The modified inhibitor (I*) is then permanently associated with the active site of the enzyme, thus inhibiting the enzyme activity. Such inhibitors are called: Suicide substrates Transition-state analogs Both A and B Neither A nor B

Please Explain each part to the best of your ability. This is Biochemistry. Thank you

A potent inhibitor effectively inhibits an enzyme catalyzed reaction. What kind of a Ki value you would expect for a potent inhibitor?

In drug development, enzyme inhibition studies play a very important role since drugs are often used to target specific enzymes, as illustrated in the example of lovastatin. An important consideration when assessing drug potential is the drug's affinity for the selected target. (The higher the affinity, the better the candidate.) The K₁ is often used in studies to measure the affinity of drug candidates toward their target. Based on your understanding of K₁, which drug would be the BEST candidate for further development? Drug C: K₁= 9.1 x 107 M Drug E: K₁ = 3.5 × 10³ mm Drug D: K₁=5.5 × 10³ μM Drug B: K₁=2.5 × 10 mm Drug A: K₁=4.5 x 10 mm

The total concentration of enzyme in a reaction, [E], is made up of the concentration of enzyme bound to substrate, [ES], and the concentration of enzyme still free in solution, [Ef]. Similarly, the total amount of substrate is made up of [Sf] and [ES]. We can assume that the concentration of enzyme is much less than that of the substrate, [E] << [S]. Assuming the steady state condition and the relationships between [E], [Ef] and [ES], and similar ones for S, given in lectures, derive an expression for the saturation factor,  , in terms of [S] and . (Note that [E] and [S] denote the total amounts of enzyme and substrate added to the reaction, respectively. You may assume that [S]>>[E].)

ANSWER A AND B PLS

Consider the following free energy diagram for an uncatalyzed and enzyme-catalyzed reaction. Select all the statements that are true. Without enzyme With enzyme A+B Time AB Oa. The reaction is now spontaneous due to the addition of enzyme b. The rate of the enzyme catalyzed reaction is faster than the uncatalyzed reaction O C. The reaction is exergonic O d. The change in free energy for the reaction is greater in the catalyzed reaction, compared to the uncatalyzed reaction e. The enzyme stabilizes the transition state for the reaction Released Energy pes

Which of the following characteristics of the transition state is false? The number of noncovalent bonds increases between the enzyme and substrate at its transition state The transition state energy is part of the delta G ^0 for the reaction The energy required to reach the transition state is characterized by delta G (double arrow) The transition state is unstable due to the straining of the covalent bonds in the substrate Both answers B and C are false
