(a)

Summary Introduction

To prove: The equilibrium constant K’AD for the overall reaction is the product of the three component equilibrium constants for the given reaction:

ABCD

K’ABK’BC, and K’CD are the respective equilibrium constants for reaction AB, BC and CD.

Introduction: In a system, multiple chemical reactions can take place at the same time. Each of the proceeding reactions has their own thermodynamic parameters such as enthalpy, free energy and others. If these reactions take place in a sequential manner and are a part of a bigger chemical process, then the total free energy for the complete system can be calculated using the free energies of the individual reactions.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To prove: For the overall conversion of A to D, ΔG°' is the sum of the three component ΔG°' values that are:

ΔG°'AD=ΔG°'AB+ΔG°'BC+ΔG°'CD

If these reactions take place in a sequential manner and are a part of a bigger chemical process, then the total free energy for the complete system can be calculated using the free energies of the individual reactions.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To prove: The ΔG' values are also additive.

ch Select all statements that are correct. Note there might be more than 1 correct statement. From the Lineweaver-Burk plot the equilibrium constant (Keq) can be obtained The Lineweaver-Burk plot gives a more accurate prediction for Vmax than the Michaelis- Menten plot The Lineweaver-Burk plot assumes that products and reactants are present at equal concentrations during the entire time of the reaction The Lineweaver-Burk plot shows velocity of reaction vs substrate concentration The Lineweaver-Burk plot shows 1/velocity of reaction vs 1/substrate concentration O 20°C D) // E
X Incorrect. Suppose that an uncatalyzed reaction is spontaneous because AG has a value of -10 kcal/mol. An enzyme that catalyzes the reaction is identified. What effect will the enzyme have on the rate of the reaction? Choose all that are correct. The enzyme increases the AG value. The enzyme increases the rate of reaction. The enzyme decreases the rate of reaction. The enzyme decreases the AG value. The enzyme raises the activation energy. The enzyme lowers the activation energy.
Enzymes catalyze chemical reactions. What constitutes the active site of an enzyme? What are the turnover number (kcat), the Michaelis constant (Km), and the maximal velocity (Vmax) of an enzyme? The kcat (catalytic rate constant) for carbonic anhydrase is 5 × 105 molecules per second. This is a “rate constant,” but not a “rate.” What is the difference? By what oncentration would you multiply this rate constant in order to determine an actual rate of prod- uct formation (V)? Under what circumstances would this rate become equal to the maximal velocity (Vmax) of the enzyme?
