Idris has successfully extracted enzymatic proteins from the fish viscera (intestines and stomach). After homogenization and centrifugation, he managed to pool the crude enzyme extract. He is characterizing the enzymes. Please help Idris by answering the following questions: (a) How do I run the experiment to find the kinetic properties of the enzyme, KM and Vmax? (b) The enzyme decreased in activity in the presence of NaCl. How do I find out if NaCl is a competitive or non-competitive inhibitor? Explain.
