Three regions of the curve are identified by the letters A, B, and C. For each of the statements that follow, indicate with a single letter which one of the three regions of the curve fits the statement best. A given letter can be used more than once.

- (a) The active site of an enzyme molecule is occupied by substrate most of the time.
- (b) The active site of an enzyme molecule is free most of the time.

One observation to support this hypothesis is the appearance of adhesion molecules that are key to the development of multiceullarity. Bulk transport Gap junctions Animals.

- 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.arrow_forwardA.

- not true about the Michaelis-Menten equation?

Which of the following is a) for [S] << Km, V = Vmax applies to most enzymes, but allosteric enzymes have different kinetics when [S] = Km, then v = Vmax/2 gives the rate when the enzyme concentration, temperature, pH, and ionic strength are constant for very high values of [S], v approaches Vmax e) Which is correct about the constant Km in the Michaelis-Menten equation? also called the catalytic constant or turnover number equal to the number of product molecules produced per unit time when the enzyme is saturated with substrate it is the constant in the first order rate equation v = k[A] it is the constant in the second order rate equation v = equal to the substrate concentration at which the velocity or rate of a reaction is ½ the…arrow_forwardI. Active site analysis. Below is a diagram of a putative active site for Monoamine oxidase. As we learned, the purpose of tertiary structure is to form a scaffold so you can orient just a few amino acids in the right orientation to promote binding and/or catalysis. The position where this occurs is the active site. The amino acid architecture of an active site is designed to bind substrates. Amino acid side chains are capable of hydrogen bonding, ionic and hydrophobic interactions. Fill in each amino acid that you think is suitable for interacting with the part of the substrate it is closest to.
