- (d) On the other hand, in quantum physics/mechanics/chemistry, energy is assumed to be quantized and distributed. Therefore, virtually any reaction can take place in a cell even though some reactions remain exceedingly slow (or not possible on the time-scale of life processes) without enzyme catalysis. Explain why.arrow_forwardPractice 14: The following is a schematic of an active site in an enzyme. Considering the shape and electronic characteristics of the active site, suggest and draw a possible substrate that would be electronically complimentary. Show and describe the forces that hold the substrate to the active site. HN "NH₂ NHarrow_forwardWhat chemical reaction is being catalyzed in this experiment? Label the substrate(s), enzyme and product(s). Based on the information in the data table and your graph, is there an optimum temperature for catalase that makes it the most productive in terms of reaction rate? If so, what is the temperature? 3. At what temperature, does the rate of the reaction decrease? Explain why.arrow_forward
- Explain enzyme kinetics including zero-order and first-order kinetics.arrow_forwardThe enzyme examase catalyses the following reaction, A - B where A is the reactant and B is the product A595 measurements were used to determine the catalytic activity of examase by measuring the rate at which B is produced. From this, the activity of the enzyme was determined to be 42 µmol/mL per minute. A standard albumin solution (concentration = 10 mg/mL) was used to prepare a standard curve of Abs595 vs amount of protein in mg. The protein assay was also performed using 100 uL of a 1 in 10 dilution of the original examase sample. For the absorbance measurements, it was determined that the sample used in the A595 measurement contains 1.2 mg of examase. Which of the following statements correctly gives the specific activity of examase? 1.0.35 U/mg O 2.0.035 U/mg 3. 5040 U/mg O 4.35 U/mg O 5.3.5 U/mgarrow_forward5 of 5 7. When a catalyst is added to a reaction the activation Energy is (increased or decreased), (more or less) energy is needed to react the new activated complex, and (more or less) collisions have sufficient energy to (increase or decrease) the reaction rate.arrow_forward
- Using this graph, what can be determined about the effect of enzyme concentration on the initial rate of the reaction and on the amount of product formed?arrow_forwardwhat is the approximation used to derive the reaction rate for an enzyme catalysed reaction that proceeds by a michaelis menten mechansimarrow_forwardThe acid-catalysed conversion of γ-hydroxybutyric acid (GHBA) into its lactone, γ-butyrolactone (GBL) is a reversible reaction. The GHBA to GBL forward reaction is first-order with respect to the GHBA concentration; the GBL to GHBA reverse reaction is first-order with respect to the GBL concentration. An experimental study of the kinetics of this reaction was undertaken in 0.2 mol L-1hydrochloric acid (HCl) at 298 K. The initial concentration of GHBA was 18.23 × 10-3mol L-1 . The concentration of GBL in solution was followed as a function of time (t), as indicated in Table B.3: Time/min 0 21 36 50 65 80 100 ∞ GBL Concentration / 10-3 L-1 0 2.41 3.73 4.96 6.10 7.08 8.11 13.28 Use the data in Table B.3 to determine the equilibrium constant and the first-order rate constants for both forward and reverse reactions.arrow_forward
