4. The rate with which enzymes can transform a substrate varies from enzyme to enzyme, and sometimes substrate to substrate. a) How are competitive and uncompetitive reversible inhibition similar? How is their effect on rate different? b) Enzyme reaction rates drop off dramatically as temperatures pass 50 °C or so, and do not return to their previous rate when cooled. Explain the drop off in activity and the lack of return to the previously higher reaction rates after heating. c) Pepsin is an enzyme that participates in digestion in the stomach, whereas trypsin is an enzyme that participates in digestion in the small inestines. Pepsin has the highest turnover number at around pH 2, whereas trypsin has the highest turnover number around pH 8. Explain this difference.

You will work as a group on this exercise. A sample of tert-butyl bromide (2-bromo-2-methyl propane) has been contaminated with some methyl bromide. The NMR spectrum of this sample shows two signals, one at 2.2 ppm and one at 1.8 ppm, corresponding to these two compounds respectively. The integrals of the two signals equate to 6:1 respectively. What is the mole percent of each compound in the mixture, or phrasing it another way, what percentage of the mixture is tert-butyl bromide and what percentage is methyl bromide?
