You think you need may have found a new inhibitor (NI) of the HIV protease, so you performed few experiments to characterize its behavior. You found that if you add an excess of substrate to the protease in the presence of the inhibitor, enzyme activity decreased at low substrate but reached the same vmax as observed in the absence of the inhibitor. Also, the affinity of the substrate for the enzyme is decreased by the inhibitor. What class of inhibitor is NI, competitive, uncompetitive, non competitive, or mixed type?

- In vitro conditions the enzyme is used in catalytic amounts (10-12 to 10-8M). Estimate the amount of enzyme in living cell. Assuming (a) fresh tissue is 80% water and intracellular (b) total soluble protein in cell represents 15% of wet weight (c) all soluble proteins are enzymes (d) average molecular weight of protein is 150,000 (e) about 1000 different enzymes are present.arrow_forwardPenicillin is an irreversible inhibitor of the transpeptidases, enzymes that cross-link components of the bacterial cell wall. The cell wall is thus fragile and the bacteria die. Penicillin and its derivatives are structural analogs of the natural substrates of these enzymes. Why doesn't penicillin normally kill humans, unless a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) develops? How does penicillin inhibit transpeptidase?arrow_forwardCongratulations! You have just secured a great job in a pharmaceutical company. You are doing an experiment in which you are measuring the rate at which succinic acid is converted to fumaric acid by an enzyme succinic dehydrogenase because you want to design a drug that can block this step in the metabolic pathway of a pathogenic bacteria. You decide to add a little malonic acid to make things interesting.. You observe that the reaction rate slows markedly and being a very smart graduate of Medgar Evers College, you conclude that malonic acid must be acting as an inhibitor. Design an experiment that will help you decide if malonic acid is acting as a competitive inhibitor or a noncompetitive inhibitor. Go to work and expect a promotion. Good luck.arrow_forward
