Question
Leia wants to determine the effect of enzyme concentration on enzyme activity using potato samples and hydrogen peroxide. However, her results do not follow the theoretical trend and thus she can't draw any conclusions from the data obtained. What might have caused errors in the experiment?
I. Placing potato samples under room temperature
II. Different treatments, with potato being proportional to the volume of hydrogen peroxide
III. Placed the same amount of hydrogen peroxide for a different amount of potatoes
IV. Placed the same amount of potatoes for a different volume of hydrogen peroxide

- In an experiment, three batches of the same enzyme were incubated with 5 mM of substrate and 2 mM of inhibitor. In each batch, the inhibitor was of a different type: a.Batch 1: competitive inhibitor b.Batch 2:uncompetitive inhibitor c.Batch 3:non-competitive inhibitor Assuming that Vmax = 80 mM s', Km = 8 mM, and Kiof all three inhibitors was 10 mM, which of the inhibitors was the most efficient on Vo? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardUsing the table below can you please help me answer the following. Based on your results, what can you conclude about the effect of enzyme concentration on reaction rate? Explainarrow_forwardProteases are one of the main drug targets. Choose the False statement regarding proteases. A. Proteases are enzymes that cleave peptide bonds. B. Water is a reactant in the reaction catalyzed by proteases. C. Proteases, like all enzymes show substrate specificity, meaning they cleave only substate that fit the bonding product. D. Proteases rely on the proton transfer from NADH to the substrate. E. Protease mechanism involves only acid-base catalysis.arrow_forward
- A biologist investigating enzyme function plotted the activity of a particular enzyme (y-axis) vs pH (x-axis). Experiment A was performed at 30 oC, experiment B at 10 oC and experiment C at 100 oC. Experiments A, B, and C all used the same type of enzyme, they simple tested the enzyme's activity at different temperatures. Using your knowledge of enzyme activity, answer the questions based on the results shown in the graph. (Answer question B) Graph included B.

- You design an enzyme assay and choose a substrate concentration equal to the Km of the enzymatic reaction. You measure the rate of the reaction at this substrate concentration to be 75.0 μmol/min. Calculate the Vmax of this reaction in μmol/min. Express your answer with one decimal place. Your previous attempt suffered from low signal-to-noise ratio when you used a substrate concentration equal to the Km. So you decide to increase the substrate concentration to 0.45 mM. You remeasure the rate of the reaction at this new substrate concentration and find it to be 135.0 μmol/min. Using the same Vmax value found above, calculate the Km value of this enzymatic reaction. Express your answer in μM with one decimal place. Considering the previous two questions, what would be the rate of the reaction at a substrate concentration of 0.01 mM? Express your answer in μmol/min with one decimal place.arrow_forwardSee attached, you have a table that is perhaps required for some of the questions. Answer question number 3 in your own words.
