The image shows the rate of an enzyme reaction under conditions of no inhibition, competitive inhibition, and noncompetitive inhibition as reactions labeled uninhibited, A, and B. Which of the following best explains what has occurred in the enzyme reactions? Reaction B shows competitive inhibition, where increased substrate competes with inhibitors for the active site. Reaction A shows noncompetitive inhibition, where increased substrate competes with inhibitors for the active site. Reaction A shows competitive inhibition, where increased substrate does not affect the enzyme’s binding with the inhibitor. Reaction B shows noncompetitive inhibition, where increased substrate does not affect the enzyme’s binding with the inhibitor.

Consider the analogy of the jiggling box containing coins that was described on page 85. The reaction, the flipping of coins that either face heads up (h) or tails up (T), is described by the equation h ↔ T, where the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction.a. What are ΔG and ΔG° in this analogy? b. What corresponds to the temperature at which the reaction proceeds? What corresponds to the activation energy of the reaction? assume you have an “enzyme,” called jigglase, which catalyzes this reaction. What would the effect of jigglase be and what, mechanically, might jigglase do in this analogy?
Which of the following is NOT true about enzymes? Enzyme inhibitors interact reversibly or irreversibly with an enzyme to alter its Km and /or Vmax values. Enzymes typically act under milder conditions of temperature and pH than non-enzyme chemical catalysts. Zymogens are the inactive precursors of enzyme. Nucleophilic groups can catalyze reactions through the transient formation of covalent bonds with the substrate. Transition state stabilization can significantly increase the activation energy for a reaction.
We can increase the rate of a reaction by decreasing the activation energy. And, we can do it by using an enzyme. Explain how enzyme decrease the activation energy.
