Question

Suppose that you have isolated the enzyme sucrase (able to hydrolyze sucrose into glucose and fructose), and you wish to determine the nature of inhibitor B for this enzyme. You have prepared five different concentrations of substrate (sucrose), and five different concentrations of inhibitor B (plus the control, with zero mM of inhibitor B). The following Table lists the inhibitor B concentrations [I], substrate concentrations [S], and resulting enzyme velocities (Vo) for all six of these experiments:

Construct a Michaelis-Menten plot, and a Lineweaver-Burk plot, for all six of these experiments on the same graph (for each plot). Calculate the Vmax, the Km, and the slope (Km/Vmax) for the control (with [I] = 0 mM) and for each non-zero concentration of inhibitor B ([I] = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, and 0.5 mM). Which type of reversible enzyme inhibition is illustrated by inhibitor B?
