Enz-SH + Ag* –→ Enz-S-Ag + H* The affinity of Ag* for sulfhydryl groups is so great that Ag* can be used to titrate -SH groups quantitatively. To 10.0 mL of a solution containing 3.5 mg/mL of a pure enzyme, an investigator added just enough AGNO, to completely inactivate the enzyme. A total of 0.536 umol AGNO, was required. Calculate the minimum molecular weight (M,) of the enzyme. minimum M, : The determined M, is not exact, but it is a minimum value for the M, of the enzyme. Why does the M, value obtained this way give only the minimum molecular weight? There is only one polypeptide chain. There are no disulfide bonds in the protein. There is only one titratable -SH group per protein molecule. O The Ag+ would also react with the terminal carboxyl group.

How can the Michaelis constant (Km) be identified and used to represent the affinity between the enzyme and the substrate?
I did not understand soultion for the question.. The relationship between Affinity and Association & Dissociation Constant. Four proteins (A-D) all bind the same ligand (X), with different affinities. For protein A & B we know that they have a binding site for X with a Kd (dissociation constant) of 10⁻⁵and 10⁻⁸ M, respectively. For protein C and D we know that they have a binding site for ligand X with a Ka (association constant) of 10³and 10⁵M, respectively. Which protein has the highest affinity for ligand ? Explain your reasoning. How do you make them all in same constant so that values can be compared and the one with highest Ka or lowest Kd (Highest affinity in both cases) can be ruled out.

Many enzymes are inhibited irreversibly by heavy metal ions such as Hg2+, Cu2+, or Ag+, which can react with essential sulfhydryl groups to form mercaptides:The affinity of Ag + for sulfhydryl groups is so great that Ag+ can be used to titrate —SH groups quantitatively. To 10.0 mL of a solution containing 1.0 mg/mL of a pure enzyme, an investigator added just enough AgNO3 to completely inactivate the enzyme. A total of 0.342 μmol of AgNO3 was required. Calculate the minimum molecular weight of the enzyme. Why does the value obtained in this way give only the minimum molecular weight?
