1-The unmutated form of your protein has a Km of 25 µM and a Vmax of 43 mM/s. The enzyme kinetic data for your enzyme with the amino acid substitution should now be displayed in the table above. Based on these data, explain the effect of amino acid substitution on the Km and Vmax for the mutated protein. (Up to 50 words)

You are not expected to draw a Lineweaver-Burk plot, however a quick sketch of a Vi vs [S] plot may help you to answer the question

2-A transmembrane protein uses a β barrel structure to span the cell membrane. How can amino acid mutations in a protein within this β barrel structure affect interactions with the membrane and why? (Up to 50 words)

    An enzyme has a KM of 20 µM and a Vmax of 50 mmoles of product/minute/µg of enzyme. After exposure to an inhibitor and analysis on a Lineweaver - Burk plot the following values are obtained: -1/KM = - 0.05 liters/µmole and 1/Vmax = 0.04 (mmoles of product/minute/µg of enzyme)-1. What kind of inhibitor was used in the experiment?
