km is the Michaelis constant that corresponds to concentration of the substrate when velocity is half the maximum.
The factors that affect the km are;
Infact , when enzyme concentration is increased , the velocity of the reaction proportionately increases.
For eg. those enzymes which catalyse reactions with relatively more concentrated substrates (sucrose) usually have relatively high Km values and vice versa
Which of the following affects the Km? (There can be more than one answer) a. The enzyme...
3. Why is an allosteric enzyme more sensitive to substrate concentration around Km values than a Michaelis-Menten enzyme with the same Vmax? 4. Explain how pH and temperature influence enzyme activity. ( A Lineweaver-Burk (double reciprocal) plot was used to compare the effects of three different reversible inhibitors (A, B and C) on an enzyme. The plot of 1/V vs 1/[S] for the enzyme with no inhibitor is shown in a solid black line. The plot of 1/V vs 1/[S]...
List and describe the factors that can affect enzymatic reactions. a. Substrate Concentration b. Enzyme Concentration c. pH d. Temperature e. Cofactors f. Inhibitors (I have them listed but do not understand their affects)
Please answer all of those questions 7. Which of the followings is correct about the mechanisms of enzymatic reactions? General acid-base mechanism b. Metal elements mediated mechanism a. Covalent bonding mediated mechanism d. All above c. e. None a bove Which of the followings is correct about the meaning of the constant (Km) of Michaelis-Menten equation of enzyme catalyzed reactions? a. The constant and Michaelis-Menten equation is applicable only to the stage of reaction immediately after mixing of substrate(s) with...
Enzyme X has a Km for substrate A which is twice as large as its Km for substrate B. If the enzyme is added to a solution containing equal, but low concentrations of A and B and Vmax for A and B are equal: substrate A will be used at a rate equal to substrate B substrate A will be used at a rate greater than substrate substrate B will be used at a rate greater than substrate A. substrate...
16 If other conditions were to remain constant, which one of the following changes would explain a reduced rate of activity in an enzyme -catalysed reaction? [-A-] an increase in the concentration of the end products [-B-] an increase in the concentration of the substrate [-C-] an increase in the concentration of the enzyme [-D-] an increase in the temperature towards the optimum. [-E-] an increase in the pH towards the optimum
The role of an enzyme in an enzyme-catalyzed reaction is to: Select one: a. make the free-energy change for the reaction more favorable. b. ensure that the product is more stable than the substrate. c. ensure that all the substrate is converted to product. d. increase the rate at which substrate is converted into product. e. do none of the above. The focus of the online practical lesson was the enzyme chymotrypsin. The catalytic mechanism by which chymotrypsin reactions occur:...
11. Local conditions can affect the specificity of an enzyme for its substrate, and thus the enzyme's catalytic activity. Which of the following alterations would be least likely to affect an enzyme in this manner? a) Increased temperature b) Increased substrate concentration c) increased H concentration d) Increased pH e) none of the above True / False: (3 pts each) 12. The Gl tracts of carnivores are longer and more specialized than those of herbivores. 13. Micelles are formed when...
2. hypothesize the best conditions (pH and temperature) under which the enzyme chymotrypsin functions with an appropriate reference. also, hypothesize what will occur in the presence of an inhibitor and the type of inhibition. EXPERIMENT 5: ENZYME ACTIVITY WITH a-CHYMOTRYPSIN Prelab Assignment 1. Prepare a flow chart, covering one half of the experimental work (either part A and C if your lab bench is on the window side of the lab or part B and D if your locker is...

Which of the following enzyme reaction mechanisms has multiple substrates? a) induced-fit e) Michaclis-Menton b) random sequential d) reversible covalent modification e) None...
12. Which of the following statements is true of enzyme catalysts? A B C To be effective, they must be present at the same concentration as their substrate. They can increase the equilibrium constant for a given reaction by a thousand-fold or more. They lower the activation energy for conversion of substrate to product. Their catalytic activity is independent of pH. They are generally equally active on D and L isomers of a given substrate. D E 13. In competitive...
