A drug is infused intravenously (IV) for treatment of a particular disease. The infusion rate of the drug is ko = 200 mg/hr. The volume of the body fluid V= 16 liters. The drug is excreted (removed) through the kidneys at rate k. = 0.3/hr, proportional to the concentration of the drug in the body fluids. How much is the maximum concentration of the drug in the body in the steady state in mg/l?

A research group discovers a new version of happyase, which they call happyase*, that catalyzes the chemical reaction HAPPY ⇌ SAD. The researchers begin to characterize the enzyme. (a) In the first experiment, with [Et] at 4 nM, they find that the Vmax is 1.6 μM s−1. Based on this experiment, what is the kcat for happyase*? (Include appropriate units.) (b) In another experiment, with [Et] at 1 nM and [HAPPY] at 30 μM, the researchers find that V0 = 300 nM s−1. What is the measured Km of happyase* for its substrate HAPPY? (Include appropriate units.) (c) Further research shows that the purified happyase used in the first two experiments was actually contaminated with a reversible inhibitor called ANGER. When ANGER is carefully removed from the happyase preparation and the two experiments repeated, the measured Vmax in (a) is increased to 4.8 μM s−1, and the measured Km in (b) is now 15 μM. For the inhibitor ANGER, calculate the values of α and α′. . (d) Based on the information given…

1.2-MIB (Methylisoborneol) is one of the by-products of algae and is a representative trace pollutant that causes taste and smell of water. The isothermal adsorption equation of 2-MIB applied with activated carbon in water without organic matter was experimentally determined as follows.q = 1.48C^(0.65) Where q is ng 2-MIB / g activated carbon and C is the concentration of g / L 2-MIB (g / L).(n is 10 ^ -9) A. Calculate the amount of activated carbon (mg / L) required to reduce the concentration of 2-MIB to 5 g / L. It is assumed that the concentration of 2-MIB in water without organic matter is 50 g / L.B. The activated carbon adsorption column will be designed with a three-year operating period. If the density of activated carbon is 540 kg / m3 and the design flow rate per column effective cross-section is 10 m / hr, find the depth of activated carbon in the empty bed contact time (EBCT) and column. Here, it is assumed that there is no competitive adsorption that can interfere with…
