Question 1

Which type of enzyme inhibition involves the inhibitor binding only to the enzyme-substrate (ES) complex, forming an ESI complex?

Accepted Answer

uncompetitive

Question 2

Given the Lineweaver-Burk plot below, which shows a family of lines with parallel slopes as inhibitor concentration increases, what type of inhibition is most likely present?

Accepted Answer

uncompetitive

Question 3

The $$K_m$$ value for the substrate in the enzyme assay shown is determined by the x-intercept of the Lineweaver-Burk plot. If the x-intercept is $$-1/0.25$$ $$\muM$^{-1}$$, what is the $$K_m$$?

Accepted Answer

$$0.25\ \muM$$

Question 4

In the absence of inhibitor, the $$V_{max}$$ value for the enzyme-substrate system used in the above assay is given by the y-intercept of the Lineweaver-Burk plot. If the y-intercept is $$1/40$$ min/$$\muM$$, what is $$V_{max}$$?

Accepted Answer

$$40\ \muM/$$min

Question 5

Estimate the $$K_i of $$the inhibitor if the $$K_m$$ increases from $$0.25\ \muM to$$ $$1\ \muM in $$the presence of $$2\ \muM $$inhibitor. Use the equation $$K_m$$^{app}$$ = K_m (1 + [I]/K_i). $$What is $$K_i$$?

Accepted Answer

$$2\ \muM$$

Question 6

The Michaelis-Menten equation $$v_0$$ = \frac{V_{max}[S]}{K_m + [S]}$$ describes the relationship between:

Accepted Answer

enzyme activity as a function of substrate concentration

Question 7

The $$K_m is$$:

Accepted Answer

equal to the substrate concentration when the reaction rate is half its maximal value

Question 8

When $$[S] \ll K_m$$, the enzymatic velocity depends on:

Accepted Answer

the values of $$K_{cat}$$, $$K_m$$, and $$[E]$$

Question 9

Accepted Answer

competitive inhibition

Question 10

Which of the following statements is true under these conditions: The enzyme concentration is $$5\ \muM$$, the substrate concentration is $$5\ \muM$$, and the $$K_m is$$ $$5\ \muM.$$

Accepted Answer
