(a)
Interpretation:
The effect of arsenite the loss of citrate should be determined.
Concept introduction:
The citric acid cycle is a catabolic process. It is a series of
(b)
Interpretation:
Explanation for the modified action of arsenite due to the addition of more citrate.
Concept introduction:
The citric acid cycle is a catabolic process. It is a series of chemical reactions in which the stored energy of the body is released by the oxidation of acetyl-Coenzyme A. Oxaloacetate is an intermediate of the Krebs cycle which binds to the acetyl-CoA in the synthesis of citrate. Arsenite is a chemical compound that contains an arsenic oxo-anion in which the arsenic has oxidation state +3.
(c)
Interpretation:
Given data proposes about the place of action of arsenite.

- Answer for D, and E. The answers for A, B, and C are down below.arrow_forwardNeed help, please.arrow_forwardEach plot has its own limitations. Match the plot with the correct statement on limitations. 1.Hanes-Woolf 2.Michaelis Menten 3.Lineweaver-Burk limitations: A. This plot appears to allow for more accurate calculation of these parameters, but is prone to error, as the y-axis takes the reciprocal of the rate of reaction –this increases any small errors in measurement at low substrate concentration, where they are most likely to occur. B.The advantage of this plot is that it does not not overemphasizing the data obtained at low [S]. The disadvantage is that any inaccurate measures of substrate concentration will be exaggerated as [S] is used on both axes. C.It is difficult to obtain a meaningful value of Km from this plot because of the high substrate concentrations needed to reach Vmax. Vmax has to be estimated by extrapolation- which is partly subjective and introduces error. D.The advantage of this plot is that it overcomes uneven spacing of points, and undue weight of a…arrow_forward
- ENZYME KINETICS ANALYSIS of 6 Xanthine oxidase (XO) is the enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of uric acid, which in excess causes gouty arthritis. The inhibition of this enzyme is therefore critical in its treatment. A student researcher is investigating the inhibitory effects of kaempferol (Kmp) and chlorogenic acid (Cha) on XO which uses xanthine (Xan) as substrate. Table 1 below shows the enzyme kinetic data. Construct the Lineweaver-Burk plot complete with the linear regression analvsis. Fill in the needed information on Table 2 and paste a copy of your Lineweaver-Burk plot. submit the picture of your output in PNG or JPG format. Table 1.

Would you expect the structure of a competitive inhibitor of a given enzyme to be similar to that of its substrate?arrow_forwardBased on the Lineweaver-Burke plot attached. Kinetic data were generated in the (1) absence of any inhibitor, (2) presence of 15 µM of a reversible inhibitor, or (3) presence of 20 µM of a second (distinct) reversible inhibitor. Purified enzyme concentration was 5 µM. The y-intercept of Lines (A) and (B) is 0.9 sec/uM; the y-intercept of Line (C) is 0.3 sec/uM. The slope of Line (A) is 1.8 sec; the slope of Lines (B) and (C) is 0.6 sec. Calculate the Vmax of the reaction represented by Line (C). Show all mathematical work, please.arrow_forward
