(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The Kcat for happyase.

Introduction: Enzyme kinetics is defined as the study of chemical reactions which is catalyzed by enzyme. It indicates a rate of reaction as a function of substrate concentration with Vmaxand Km of enzyme.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The measured Km  of happyase for its substrate HAPPY.

Introduction: Enzyme is defined as biological macromolecules that can enhance a rate of chemical reactions. Enzymes acts on a molecule known as substrate and the substrate is converted into products. All chemical reactions are regulated by enzymes.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To calculate: The values of α and α .

Introduction: Enzyme inhibitors are defined as chemical molecules that bind at active site of enzymes and prevent the binding of substrate with enzyme. There are two types of inhibitors that are reversible and irreversible inhibitors.

(d)

Summary Introduction

To determine: What type of inhibitor is anger.

Introduction: Inhibitors are chemical molecules that inhibit activity of enzyme by binding either at active site of enzyme or region other than active site. It prevents the binding of substrate by changing the shape and conformation of enzyme.
