A protein that is normally found in an aqueous solution has these amino acids in its primary structure: glutamic acid, lysine, leucine, arginine, and tryptophan. Predict the location of each amino acid: in the interior portion of the protein (away from water) or on the outside of the protein (facing water).

  1. glutamic acid _________________________
  2. lysine _________________________
  3. leucine _________________________
  4. arginine ________________________
  5. tryptophan _________________________

Indicate whether each of the following statements describes a reversible competitive inhibitor, reversible noncompetitive inhibition, or an irreversible inhibitor.

________ a.    It bonds covalently to the active site 

________ b.    The inhibitor effect can be reversed by the addition of more substrate       

________ c.    Inhibitor structure resembles that of the substrate   

________ d.    The inhibitor and substrate cannot bind to the enzyme simultaneously.
