Summary Introduction

To review:

The Lineweaver–Burk plot from the data of experiments 1 and 2, provided below. Also, to determine the effect of an unknown compound (added during experiment 2)on the activity of ribonuclease enzyme.

Biochemistry: The Molecular Basis of Life, Chapter 6, Problem 61TQ

Introduction:

Two experimentswereperformed with enzyme ribonucleases. Thesubstrate concentration and velocity of both the experiments are shownin the table. In experiment1, the rate of reaction was measured with increasing substrate concentration. In experiment2, 0.1 mg (milligrams) of an unknown compound was added, whereas other conditionswere keptidentical to conditions during experiment 1. There was a change observed in the rate of reaction due to the addition of the unknown compound.

True or False.  The Krebs cycle is considered to be an anabolic pathway because some of the reactions are considered reversible.
Why are such allosteric enzymes composed of more than one catalytic subunit?
All coenzymes are cofactors, but not all cofactors are coenzymes. Explain this statement briefly.
