1- Describe two attributes that are different for hemoglobin and myoglobin; focus on characteristics that are a direct consequence of differences in tertiary and/or quaternary structure. For each attribute, be sure to specifically explain how 3° and 4° organization impacts the described differences.
2- The kinetics of an enzyme (E)-catalyzed reaction are measured
over a range of substrate (S) concentrations in the presence or
absence of a reversible inhibitor (I). The total enzyme
concentration is 10 uM, and the inhibitor concentration used is 50
uM. Analysis of the data indicates that the enzyme operates with
typical Michaelis-Menton kinetics. A double-reciprocal
(Lineweaver-Burke) plot provides the following information:
y-intercept (absence of I) = 0.75 sec/uM
y-intercept (presence of I) = 2.5 sec/uM
slope (absence of I) = 3.5 sec
slope (presence of I) = 7.0 sec
(A) Calculate the Vmax for this reaction in the
absence of inhibitor. Show all work
& indicate proper units.
(B) Calculate the Vmax for this reaction in the presence of inhibitor. Show all work & indicate proper units.

The following observations come from Lineweaver-Burke plots, based on kinetic data generated from a Michaelis/Menton-type enzyme (E) that catalyzes the hydrolysis of a peptide substrate (S). All data were generated in the presence of 18.0 μM total enzyme. The enzyme-catalyzed reaction has a Km of 3.00 μM and a Vmax of 2.00 μM/sec. The enzyme-catalyzed reaction in the presence of 15.0 μM of Inhibitor A has an apparent Km of 2.25 μM and an apparent Vmax of 1.50 μM/sec. The...
1. MICHAELIS-MENTON-(REQUIRED) a. Draw a simple graph, showing the classic Michaelis-Menton plot of enzyme activity as a function of substrate concentration; label both axes. Write the associated Michaelis-Menton equation and show the location of Km and Vmax on your graph. b. Draw a second graph showing the classic Lineweaver-Burk plot; label both axes. Show the location of Km and Vmax on your graph. Discuss which plot is the most useful to determine Vmax. Draw a second line on each graph...
Please do everything like you were answering a test. Don’t attempt if youre not going to do all parts. Do it ASAP and I will give you a good rating. If not I will report you. Thank you so much for being the best. Show work if necessary and be concise. There’s no way for me to separate so do all parts. do all parts please. I cant seperate it because it will be refunded. 2. i) (10 points) The...

Sphingosine 1-phophate (SPP) is important for cell survival. The synthesis of SPP from sphingosine and ATP is catalyzed by the enzyme sphingosine kinase. An understanding of the kinetics of the sphingosine kinase reaction may be important in the development of drugs to treat cancer. The velocity of the spingosine kinase reaction was measured inthe presence and absence of threo-sphingosine, a sterioisomer of sphingosine that inhibits the enzyme. The results are next. Contruct a lineweaver-Burk plot to answer the following questions:...
