Textbook Question
Chapter 8, Problem 17P
Initial rate data for an enzyme that obeys Michaelis-Menten kinetics are shown in the following table. When the enzyme concentration is 3 nmol ml-1, a Lineweaver-Burk plot of this data gives a line with a y-intercept of 0.00426 (µmol- ml s).
- Calculate kcat for the reaction.
- Calculate KM for the enzyme.
- When the reactions in part (b) are repeated in the presence of 12 µM of an uncompetitive inhibitor, the y-intercept of the Lineweaver-Burk plot is 0.352 (µmol-1 ml s). Calculate K’I for the inhibitor.

The turnover number for an enzyme that approximates Michaelis-Menten kinetics is known to be 500 min^-1. From the results shown in the table, enumerate Km and total amount of enzyme present. What is the Km for this enzyme? What is the Vmax for this enzyme? And what is the [E]T for this enzyme?
From a kinetics experiment, the Vmax was determined to be 450µM∙min-1. For the kinetic assay, 0.1mL of a 0.05mg/mL solution of enzyme was used, and the enzyme has a molecular weight of 125,000 g/mole. Assume a reaction volume of 700µL. Calculate the kcat (in sec-1) for the enzyme.
You obtain a calculated Vmax of 4.26uM/s and a Km of 122.5uM from a kinetics experiment performed using 0.5uM enzyme. What is the catalytic efficiency of this enzyme?
