(a) If the total enzyme concentration 1 nmol/L, how many molecules of substrate can a molecule of enzyme process in each minute?(b) Calculate kcat/KM for the enzyme reaction. Is this a fairly efficient enzyme? (as shown.)
A research group discovers a new version of happyase, which they call happyase*, that catalyzes the chemical reaction 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 uM/s. 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 uM, the researchers find that V0 = 300 nM/s. 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 uM/s, and the measured Km in (b) is now 15 uM. Based on this information, can you figure out what type of inhibitor is ANGER? (Use table 6.9 at the end of the…

Based on the definition of kcat, substitute a value that can be measured and yet still represents the value associated with the original concentration of the R. What would the rate or velocity of the reaction be equal to under these circumstances? How can cells increase Vmax? What variable that we could change would directly impact Vmax? Would the value of KM be affected by the ways you determined that Vma,x could be increased? What does this indicate about KM?

You have obtained experimental kinetic data for two versions of the same enzyme, a wild‑type and a mutant differing from the wild‑type at a single amino acid. The data are given in the table. ?maxVmax(μmol min−1) ?MKM(mM) Wild‑type 100 10 Mutant 1 0.1 Compare the kinetic parameters of the two versions using the data in the table. Assuming a two-step reaction scheme in which ?−1k−1 is much larger than ?2,k2, which of the following statements are correct? The wild‑type version requires a greater concentration of substrate to achieve ?maxVmax. The wild‑type version has a higher affinity for the substrate. The mutant version has a higher affinity for the substrate. The mutant version requires a greater concentration of substrate to achieve ?maxVmax. Calculate the initial velocity of the reaction catalyzed by the wild‑type enzyme when the substrate concentration is 10 mM. ?0=V0=
