Thank you for helping me. I have to questions. In solution B, if we choose two other points on the graph for calculating the slope, wouldnt the values for Km/Vmax be different than 6.1? Why did you choose exactly those points on the graph?
Another thing, I understand the method you used to get to Km/Vmax= slope, but how did you then get the value for Vmax to be 10 mM/s??
True or False. If drug A produces a larger zone of inhibition than drug B on the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion test, drug A should always be prescribed. Explain your answer.
Label the horizontal axis.
Consider two proteins: hexokinase has a pI ~ 4.5, and actin has a pI ~ 7.5. Draw a curve for each protein on the axes, indicating how the charge of the protein changes with the pH of the medium. Be sure to label which curve is which.

Specificity of membrane transporters. A protein that transports amino acids across the cell membrane was found to bind only a few amino acids efficiently. To find the specificity, many different amino acids and substrate analogs were used as competitive inhibitors in transport studies at pH 5.9 with L-histidine (Km = 10 μM). The Ki values calculated from Lineweaver-Burk plots are shown in the table below. Comparing the structures of L-histidine and the competitive inhibitors (for which most of them, you should know their structures!), what can you conclude about the characteristics of molecules that this transport protein binds at its active site?
