Chapter 8, Problem 46P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

V0 versus pH curve when the substrate concentration is much greater than the enzyme KM should be drawn.

Concept introduction:

KM is the Michaelis constant which is the substrate concentration when the reaction rate is half of the maximum rate achieved by a system. Michaelis constant is a measure of its binding affinity to a substrate. The higher the Michaelis constant, the lower affinity for its substrate. That means an enzyme with lower KM needs a higher concentration of substrate to achieve Vmax.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

V0 versus pH curve when the substrate concentration is much less than the enzyme KM should be drawn.

Concept introduction:

KM is the Michaelis constant which is the substrate concentration when the reaction rate is half of the maximum rate achieved by a system. Michaelis constant is a measure of its binding affinity to a substrate. The higher the Michaelis constant, lower affinity for its substrate. That means an enzyme with lower KM needs a higher concentration of substrate to achieve Vmax.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The pH at which the velocity will equal half of the maximal velocity attainable under these conditions should be determined.

Concept introduction:

KM is the Michaelis constant which is the substrate concentration when the reaction rate is half of the maximum rate achieved by a system. Michaelis constant is a measure of its binding affinity to a substrate. The higher the Michaelis constant, lower affinity for its substrate. That means for an enzyme with lower KM needs a higher concentration of substrate to achieve Vmax.

Enzyme X exhibits maximum activity at pH- 6.3. X shows a fairly sharp decrease in its activity when the pH goes much lower than 5.8. One likely interpretation of this pH activity is that: a Glu residue on the enzyme is involved in the reaction. O the enzyme uses NADH has a cofactor the enzyme uses coenzyme A has a cofactor O a Tyr residue on the enzyme is involved in the reaction. O a His residue on the enzyme is involved in the reaction
8) plot of enzyme activity with and without an inhibitor present gave the following plot. What type of inhibitor is present? How does this inhibitor function? What changes are seen in Vmax and KM? Draw a line that approximates the result from addition of twice as much inhibitor to the reaction. 1/v (v in mM/min) 0.8 0.6 0.4 0.2 0 0.2 0.4 06 1/[s] ([S] in mM) 0.8
