(a)

Summary Introduction

To describe: The effect that is necessary to specify that product concentrations remained negligible during the course of the reaction.

Introduction: The enzyme β-galactosidase catalyzes the hydrolysis of the disaccharide lactose and results in the formation of glucose and galactose. To determine the value of Km and Vmax, the same amount of enzyme was incubated with a series of lactose concentrations under the condition where product concentrations remained negligible.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To describe: The effect when the lactose concentration is doubled by plotting a graph.

Introduction: The enzyme β-galactosidase catalyzes the hydrolysis of the disaccharide lactose and results in the formation of glucose and galactose. To determine the value of Km and Vmax, the same amount of enzyme was incubated with a series of lactose concentrations under the condition where product concentrations remained negligible.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To calculate:  The inverse value of the rate of lactose consumption and lactose concentration by plotting a graph.

Introduction: The enzyme β-galactosidase catalyzes the hydrolysis of the disaccharide lactose and results in the formation of glucose and galactose. To determine the value of Km and Vmax, the same amount of enzyme was incubated with a series of lactose concentrations under the condition where product concentrations remained negligible.

(d)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The value of Km and Vmax from the double reciprocal plot.

Introduction: The enzyme β-galactosidase catalyzes the hydrolysis of the disaccharide lactose and results in the formation of glucose and galactose. To determine the value of Km and Vmax, the same amount of enzyme was incubated with a series of lactose concentrations under the condition where product concentrations remained negligible.

(e)

Summary Introduction

To explain: The graph plot when the value of enzyme used becomes 0.5µg.

Introduction: The enzyme β-galactosidase catalyzes the hydrolysis of the disaccharide lactose and results in the formation of glucose and galactose. To determine the value of Km and Vmax, the same amount of enzyme was incubated with a series of lactose concentrations under the condition where product concentrations remained negligible.

Tracing glucose. Glucose labeled with 14 C at C-6 is added to a solution containing the enzymes and cofactors of the oxidative phase of the pentose phosphate pathway. What is the fate of the radioactive label?
Modified TRUE or FALSE. Write the word TRUE if the statement is correct. If the statement is false, write the incorrect underlined word/s and indicate the correct word/s to make the statement true. The Michaelis-Menten Constant (Km) of an enzyme is equal to the enzyme concentration at which the initial velocity of the reaction is one half of maximum velocity (Vmax).
Thin Layer chromatography (TLC). Explain the biochemical principle behind the separation of carbohydrates molecules by TLC as performed in practical 5. Explain which properties molecules must have to travel a short and large distance, respectively. Ketohexose sugars can form 8 different stereoisomers. How many of those isomers can be distinguished and resolved by TLC as performed in the practical and why? no more than 100 words total
