- The following data were obtained in a study of an enzyme known to follow Michaelis-Menten kinetics: Vo (micromol/min) Substrate added (mM) 200 1.0 400 2.0 800 4.0 1600 8.0 3200 16.0 The enzyme concentration used in all reactions is 106 M. Which of the following is true: O A) The Km for the reaction must be less than 1 mM ○ B) It is possible to determine Km for the reaction, but not Vmax or kcat OC) It is possible to determine only kcat, not Vmax or Km D) It is not possible to determine Vmax for the reaction OE) The ratio Vmax/Km for the reaction cannot be determinedarrow_forwarda particular enzyme catalyzes a single reactant S to a single product P, following michaelis-menten kinetics rp=(VmaxCs) / (Km + Cs) 1. A reaction with this enzyme is carried out at very low substrate concentrations. Draw and label a curve on the plot that describes the reaction kinetics under those conditions.arrow_forwardIn glycolysis, fructose 1,6-bisphosphate is converted to two products with a standard free- energy change (AG) of 23.8 kJ/mol. Under what cellular conditions will the free-energy change be negative, enabling the reaction to proceed spontaneously to form products? O In a cell where the concentrations of products and reactants yield a low value of the mass-action ratio Q ○ The reaction will not go to the right spontaneously under any conditions because the AG is positive ○ The reaction will proceed spontaneously to the right if there is a high concentration of products relative to the concentration of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate ○ The reaction will proceed spontaneously to the right if there is a high concentration of enzyme to catalyze the reaction O None of these conditions is sufficientarrow_forward
- a newly identified bacterium called Nomore biochem is unable to synthesize ubiquinone. A mobile electron carrier called CXC3 is used as a substitute. From the information provided in the table, calculate delta G' and Keq value at 298K for the redox reaction that occurs in the Nomore Biochem electron transport chain.

Fructose 1,6-biphosphate <-->fructose -6-phosphate + Pi. a) What is the standard Gibbs free energy change for this reaction? b) if the concentrationof fructose 1,6 biphosphate is adjusted to 0.85 M and that of fructose 6 phosphate and phosphate adjusted to 0.055 M, what is the actual free energy changearrow_forwardThe following question focuses on how the parameters regulating enzyme function might change, and how these might appear graphically on a Michaelis-Menten plot and a Lineweaver-Burke plot. Carbonic anhydrase is an enzyme that will convert CO2 and water into HCO3. CO2 + H20 > H+ + HCO3 There are many different isoforms of this enzyme. (see for instance http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonic_anhydrase 1 Assume that one variant has a Km of 10 µM and a different variant has a Km of 100 µM. Draw on the same graph a typical Michaelis-Menton plot showing the alteration in the rate of carbonic anhydrase as the CO2 level is varied for the two different variants of enzyme, assuming the concentration of the enzyme (10 mM) in the test tube is kept constant. Assume that you have equal amounts of the two different variants of carbonic anhydrase in a number of test tubes and that the Vmax for both enzymes are the same. Be sure to label the axes. For the same conditions as above, draw a…arrow_forward
