. Lineweaver-Burk plot is the most used linearization method of the MichaelisMenten equation, but the main drawback is a/an: a. overemphasis to low substrate concentration and less emphasis to high substrate concentration. b. overemphasis to high substrate concentration and less emphasis to low substrate concentration. c. exaggeration to both ends of the reciprocal of the substrate concentration. d. lack of independent variables to x- and y- coordinates. Kinetic data were gathered for Enzyme X, its substrate, and a known competitive inhibitor Z. Upon plotting the linearized kinetic data, one could surmise that the plot of the inhibited enzyme would have: a. a slope and y-intercept both lower in magnitude than the plot of the uninhibited enzyme using Eadie-Hofstee method. b. a constant slope and y-intercept that is lower in magnitude with the plot of the uninhibited enzyme using Eadie-Hofstee method. c. a slope and y-intercept greater in magnitude than the plot of the uninhibited enzyme using Hanes-Woolf method. d. a constant slope but a lower y-intercept than the plot of the uninhibited enzyme using Lineweaver-Burk method

Each plot has its own limitations. Match the plot with the correct statement on limitations. 1.Hanes-Woolf 2.Michaelis Menten 3.Lineweaver-Burk limitations: A. This plot appears to allow for more accurate calculation of these parameters, but is prone to error, as the y-axis takes the reciprocal of the rate of reaction –this increases any small errors in measurement at low substrate concentration, where they are most likely to occur. B.The advantage of this plot is that it does not not overemphasizing the data obtained at low [S]. The disadvantage is that any inaccurate measures of substrate concentration will be exaggerated as [S] is used on both axes. C.It is difficult to obtain a meaningful value of Km from this plot because of the high substrate concentrations needed to reach Vmax. Vmax has to be estimated by extrapolation- which is partly subjective and introduces error. D.The advantage of this plot is that it overcomes uneven spacing of points, and undue weight of a…

You are saying that the inhibitor is competitive inhibitor. But according to data Vmax for reaction (with no inhibitor) is 4,17mM/min and Vmax for reaction (with inhibitor)=2,31mM/min. Then you show that Km for reaction with no inhibitor is 1.66. Then I calculate further for Km for reaction with inhibitor by using MM equation and I get 0,9. So both the Vmax and Km is reduced in reaction with inhibitor. That must mean the inhibitor is not competitive but non-competitive inhibitor. Or is it me that got it wrong??
