Summary Introduction
To propose: A model on the basis of graph to explain the molecular event occurring at each stage of the reaction profile.
Concept introduction: Enzymes are catalysts that enhance the rate of a reaction. The enzyme assay is a technique performed in laboratories to determine the concentration and activity of an enzyme. It is a very useful technique as it can provide information about the interaction of the enzyme with the substrate, drugs, inhibitors, and others.

SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY • DRAW IT A researcher has developedan assay to measure the activity of an important enzymepresent in pancreatic cells growing in culture. She adds theenzyme’s substrate to a dish of cells and then measures theappearance of reaction products. The results are graphed as theamount of product on the y-axis versus time on the x-axis. Theresearcher notes four sections of the graph. For a short periodof time, no products appear (section A). Then (section B) thereaction rate is quite high (the slope of the line is steep). Next,the reaction gradually slows down (section C). Finally, thegraph line becomes flat (section D). Draw and label the graph,and propose a model to explain the molecular events occurringat each stage of this reaction profile.

The energy of activation is lowered so the reaction can happen quicker. 2. Substrate attaches to the active site. 3. The product is created and released from the active site. 4. The energy of activation is lowered so the reaction can happen slower. 5. A specific substrate attaches to the active site.

- A 45 year-old male presents with fever and cough. He is found to have bacterial pneumonia. He is administered a drug that inhibits bacterial enzyme that catalyzes bacterial DNA synthesis. The drug cited above produced the kinetic data shown below. The mechanism of action of the drug is non-competitive inhibition of enzyme; drug binds to active site. Please explain.arrow_forwardAn enzyme with a Km of 3 X 10-4 M was tested at an initial substrate concentration of 10-5 M. In 1 minute, 5% of the substrate was found to be utilized. (a) What percentage of the substrate was utilized in 5 minutes? (b) If the initial substrate concentration had been 8 X 10-7 M, what percentage of the substrate would have been utilized in 5 minutes? (c) Vmax =? (d) How long would it take to utilize 50% of the substrate at 8 X 10-7 M? (e) How long would it take to utilize 75% of the substrate at 10-5 M?arrow_forwardExamine the figure below, which compares the energetics of a catalyzed and uncatalyzed reaction during the progress of the reaction from substrate (S) to product (P). The highest peak in such a diagram corresponds to the transition state, which is an unstable, high-energy arrangement of substrate atoms that is intermediate between substrate and product. The free energy required to surmount this barrier to the reaction is termed the activation energy. Enzymes function by lowering the activation energy, thereby allowing a more rapid approach to equilibrium.
