Question
A research group discovers a neW version oI happyasee, which they
nappyase", that catalyzes the chemical reaction
HAPPY = SAD
The researchers begin to characterize the enzyme.
In the first experiment, with [E] at 4 nM, they find that the Vmax is 1.6 µM s-1. Based on this experiment, what is the kcat
for happyase*?
kcat
400
S
In another experiment, with [E,] at 1 nM and [HAPPY] at 30 µM, the researchers find that Vo is equal to 300 nM s-1. What i
the measured Km of happyase* for its substrate HAPPY?
Km
10 x10–6
Incorrect
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 increases to 4.8 µM s-, and the measured Km is now 15 µM.
S
For the inhibitor ANGER, calculate the values of a' and a.
