How does a competitive inhibitor affect the apparent Km and Vmax of an enzyme?
An enzyme is inhibited by an uncompetitive inhibitor. If the original Km is 5 mM and Vmax is 100 μmol/min, what happens to the apparent Km and Vmax?
A pharmaceutical company is developing a drug that acts as a non-competitive inhibitor. How would this drug affect the apparent Km and Vmax of the target enzyme?
Given a table showing enzyme kinetics data with various inhibitors, how would you determine the type of inhibitor affecting the enzyme?
How would a non-competitive inhibitor with alpha = 1 and alpha prime = 2 affect the apparent Km and Vmax of an enzyme with a Km of 15 mM and Vmax of 250 μmol/min?
If an enzyme has a Km of 12 mM and is inhibited by a competitive inhibitor with an alpha of 4, what is the apparent Km?
An enzyme with a Vmax of 180 μmol/min is inhibited by an uncompetitive inhibitor with an alpha prime of 3. What is the apparent Vmax?
