The lysozyme reaction is shown below: 1. The lysozyme reaction is a bimolecular enzyme-catalyzed reaction. The two substrates are the NAG-NAM polymer and a water molecule. What bimolecular kinetic model will lysozyme follow? Justify your answer. 2. Typically, we would confirm the bimolecular model with a set of kinetic experiments and the resulting Lineweaver-Burk plots. Explain why it would be experimentally difficult to use this strategy for lysozyme. Glu-35 Glu-35 H00 HO НО Lo—NAG HO— HO-NAG + H20_ NAG. NAG...

Can you check my answers please? To answer the questions below use the following information: Cyanohydrins are important intermediates in the synthesis of c-hydroxycarboxylic acids from ketones and aldehydes. The nitrile functional group can be hydrolyzed by aqueous acid to yield a carboxylic acid. Nitriles can also be hydrolyzed to carboxylic acids using aqueous base. Unfortunately, when a cyanohydrin is treated with aqueous base the original carbonyl compound is isolated OH CHCOOH HO CN OBU H HCEN H NAOH H20...
Which one change would be most likely to decrease the deltaG of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction, according to our coverage? Use a version of the enzyme with a lower Kcat. Use a version of the enzyme with a lower Km. Find a way to remove product of the reaction (eg, by consuming that product in another reaction) Add a noncompetitive inhibitor. Double the enzyme concentration QUESTION 14 Think about an 800-amino acid polypeptide. In the middle (let's say amino acids 401-402)...
