The Km of the enzyme chymotrypsin (human) is 5mM. This enzyme was added to a tube with all the necessary compounds and conditions with IM substrate. To increase the velocity of the reaction, we could:   a. Heat the solution to 90 degree centigrade.   b. Add more substrate   c. Add more enzyme   d. Add an inhibitor

An enzyme catalysed reaction has a Km of 8 mM and a Vmax of 13 nM.s-1. Use the Michaelis-Menten equation to calculate the reaction velocity when the substrate concentration is 18 mM.

Sucrase has an optimum temperature of 37°C and an optimum pH of 6.2. Determine the effect of the following on its rate of reaction: 1) no change 2) increase decrease 3) A. increasing the concentration of sucrase B. changing the pH to 4.0 C. running the reaction at 70°C What are the functions of Allosteric enzymes What are some factors that affects enzyme activity? I. II. III. IV. V. VI. Enzyme activity can be regulated by allosteric enzymes, feedback control, and covalent modifications. T/F Examples of Zymogens are the proteases trypsinogen and chymotrypsinogen. T/F? Trypsin catalyzes the removal of dipeptides from inactive chymotrypsinogen and trypsinogen to give the active proteases chymotrypsin and trypsin. T/F The removal of a polypeptide chain from proinsulin produces the active form of insulin. T/F? A kinase can activate an inactive enzyme by phosphorylation, ie adding a phosphate group. T/F? A phosphatase can activate an inactive enzyme by removal of phosphate. T/F? Identify…

An enzyme that catalyzes the reaction X ⇌ Y is isolated from two bacterial species. The enzymes have the same Vmax but different Km values for the substrate X. Enzyme A has a Km of 2.0 μM, and enzyme B has a Km of 0.5 μM. The plot below shows the kinetics of reactions carried out with the same concentration of each enzyme and with [X] = 1 μM. Which curve corresponds to which enzyme? Explain.
