Molecule A can undergo unimolecular reaction to product P either directly according to mechanism (1)

(1)

A -> P          (k1)

or via an intermediate according to mechanism (2):

(2)

A + M -> A*          (k1)

A* + M -> A         (k2)

A* -> P                (k3)

A. Mechanism 1

If mechanism 1 operates, show that the concentration of [P] vs time is 1st order in [A]

B. Mechanism 2

From mechanism (2), derive an expression for the production rate d[P]/dt in terms of [A] and [M]

C. Mechanism 2

Under what conditions might mechanism (2) still give apparent 1st order kinetics in [A]? (This is the so-called “pseudo first-order” kinetics condition.

    Problem 2: (Enzyme Kinetics) A competitive inhibitor I interferes with an enzyme-catalyzed reaction according to the mechanism: E+S →ES, rate constant = ki, ES → E+S, rate constant = k-1, ES → E+P, rate constant = k2, E + EI, rate constant = k3. EI → E + I, rate constant = k-3. Assuming that the concentrations of S and I are much larger than the total enzyme concentration, derive an expression for the initial rate of appearance of product,...
