- REFLECT AND APPLY Why is it useful to plot rate data for enzymatic reactions as a straight line rather than as a curve?arrow_forwardBIOCHEMICAL CONNECTIONS Why might you expect to find some Hb F in adults who are afflicted with sickle-cell anemia?arrow_forwardBIOCHEMICAL CONNECTIONS Cancer cells grow so rapidly that they have a higher rate of anaerobic metabolism than most body tissues, especially at the center of a tumor. Can you use drugs that poison the enzymes of anaerobic metabolism in the treatment of cancer? Why, or why not?arrow_forward
- RECALL Do all enzymes display kinetics that obey the Michaelis-Menten equation? Which ones do not?arrow_forwardREFLECT AND APPLY What is the relationship between a transition-state analog and the induced-fit model of enzyme kinetics?arrow_forwardRECALL What is a suicide substrate? Why are they important?arrow_forward
- REFLECT AND APPLY When we compare the binding of I and of S to the enzyme in a mixed noncompetitive inhibitor, we assumed that the binding of I decreased the affinity of the enzyme for S. What would happen if the opposite were true?arrow_forwardREFLECT AND APPLY Would you expect an increase or a decrease of entropy to accompany the hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine to the constituent parts (glycerol, two fatty acids, phosphoric acid, and choline)? Why?arrow_forwardRECALL How can you recognize an enzyme that does not display MichaelisMenten kinetics?arrow_forward
