Compare and contrast Bound Fraction equation in ligand binding and Michaelis-Menten equation in enzyme kinetics, including their double-reciprocal forms. Discuss what Km is important for and what Vmax (or kcat) is important for? Under what (substrate) conditions is Km more important than Vmax, and under what (substrate) conditions is Vmax more important than Km? Based on the discussions in question 2, explain what type of inhibitors works best under (a) high substrate concentration and (b) low substrate concentration.

When enzyme solutions are heated, there is a progressive loss of catalytic activity over time due to denaturation of the enzyme. A solution of the enzyme hexokinase incubated at 450C lost 50% of its activity in 12 minutes, but when incubated at 450C in the presence of a very large concentration of one of its substrates, it lost only 3% of its activity in 12 minutes.
