Answer #1

Depending on the type of enzyme, free energy of reactants and products, and also type of enzyme, all the following options may be possible.

(a) No, because products inhibits the enzyme

(b) Yes, because of the reaction proceeds backward and reaching equilibrium

(c) Yes, because the enzyme reduces the standard free energy cahnge for the reaction

(d) No, because the enzyme lowers the transition state enrgy barrier.

(e) no because enzyem catayze only the forward reaction.

If you add enzyme to a solution containing only the products of a reaction would you expect any substrate to form? A. It depends on the time interval and the temperature of the reaction B. It depends on the concentration of products added C. It depends on the energy difference between E + P and the transition state D. All of the above may determine if product forms E. None of the above determines if product forms

A specific enzyme exhibits substrate inhibition. Why would it be quite possible to increase the reaction rate by immobilizing the enzyme in a porous spherical particle compared to using the free enzyme in solution? Explain.

When 10 μg of an enzyme of Mr 50,000 g/mol is added to a solution containing its substrate at a concentration that is much higher than Km, it catalyzes the conversion of 25 μmol of substrate into product in 1 min. Calculate this enzyme's turnover number!

An enzyme-catalyzed reaction was carried out with the substrate concentration initially three hundred times greater than the Km for that substrate. After five minutes, 1% of the substrate had been converted to product, and the amount of product formed in the reaction mixture was 15 micro moles. If, in a seperate experiment, four times less enzyme and twice as much substrate had been combined, how long would it take for the same amount (15 micro moles) of product to be...

The zero order rate is seen in an enzyme catalyzed reaction when: A. There is too much enzyme and too little substrate B. Enzyme reactions are always first order C. The Michaelis constant is very high D. The Vmax of the reaction is twice that which is observed E. The enzyme substrate comples is at its maximum concentration What happens when you add more enzyme to a catalyzed reaction that already is proceeding at Vmax? A. The reaction is inhibited...

a. Would you expect virus growing in a medium containing 35S to synthesize DNA containing 35S? A.No B.Yes C.Yes, but only a little b. Which statement best reflects your reasoning? A.DNA is made up of sugar, phosphate, and nitrogenous bases. None of these molecules contain sulfur, so 35S wouldn’t become part of the DNA. B.I think DNA might contain sulfur, so 35S could become part of DNA made by virus in a 35S solution. C.35S sticks to any biomolecule, so...

20. You run a reaction with 1 µg of enzyme QB26, buffer and 25 millimolar (mM) substrate and obtain an initial reaction velocity (vo) of 100micromolar (µM) product per second. You repeat the reaction the same as before but with 50 mM substrate and observe vo = 101µM/sec, repeat at 100mM substrate, get vo =102µM/sec. a. The substrate concentrations in these reactions are very close the Km b. The velocities in these reactions are very close to Vmax c. The...
