- (b) You are investigating the effects of several agents on the activity of alcohol dehydrogenase. The enzyme activity data are shown in the table below. Construct a [substrate] vs. activity plot and a double-reciprocal plot for this enzyme. Be sure to label all axes. Determine the Vmax and KM for AD from the graphs in each type of plot. AD activity (nM/min) AD activity + agent A (nM/min) AD activity + agent B (nM/min) [Alcohol] (nM) 0.1 14 2 0.5 50 7 8. 1.0 65 10 30 2.0 72 12 45 4.0 80 14 62 8.0 85 15 75 32.0 90 16 90arrow_forwardGive an example of a noncompetitive inhibitor and its target enzyme. Draw a hypothetical Michaelis-Menten curves in the presence and absence of the noncompetitive inhibitor. Discuss the effects of noncompetitive inhibition and the reasons for these effects on the values of Km and Vmax.arrow_forwardThe following questions deal with a fundamental understanding of enzyme catalysis.a. Why is the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction proportional to the amount of (ES) complex?b. What do you think is meant by saturation of the enzyme?c. What do you think is meant by the term “saturation kinetics”?d. How does the Michaelis-Menten equation explain why the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction reachesa maximum value at high [S]?arrow_forward
- You will perform the protocol below for the calf intestinal alkaline phosphatase (CIP) provided. For each reaction, your final enzyme concentration should be 10 nM CIP. Note: Enzymes purchased are typically labelled with their “units of activity” (U), as this relates to how much enzyme is needed to catalyze a reaction. The 100 nM CIP provided has approximately 3 U/mL and was diluted 1 in 1,000 from a 500 U/mL purchased enzyme. 1) Create a table (similar to the one below) to help you determine and keep track of what to add to each of the cuvettes in which your reactions will be measured. The five different concentrations of PNPP should be: 25, 50, 100, 200, 300 μM. Each reaction will be in a final volume of 1 mL and contain 10 nM alkaline phosphatase. Concentrations of stock solutions: 1.0 mM PNPP, 100 nM calf intestinal phosphatasearrow_forwardwhat is the purpose of staggering the start and stop of the reactions? With reference to your experimental protocol, what is the purpose of staggering the start and stop of the reactions? A.To ensure that the reaction occurs with different amounts of enzyme in each tube so as to ensure comparability between reaction tubes. B.To ensure that the reaction occurs at exactly the same pH in each tube so as to ensure comparability between reaction tubes. C.To ensure that the reaction occurs for exactly the same time interval (30 minutes) in each tube so as to ensure comparability between reaction tubes. D.To ensure that the reaction occurs with exactly the same amount of substrate in each tube so as to ensure comparability between reaction tubes.arrow_forwardFrom your Lineweaver-Burk plot,the vlaues are: Km Vmax Uninhibited 0.09 mmol/L 3.02 min/mmol Inhibited 6.22 mmol/L 9.98 min/mmol By describing the potential changes in the kinetic parameters, identify and justify the type of inhibitor that was inhibiting the acid phosphatase activity.arrow_forward
