An enzyme is discovered that catalyzes the chemical reaction
SAD --> <-- HAPPY
A team of motivated researchers set out to study the enzyme, which they call happyase. Under a constant enzyme concentration, [E] of 2.0 uM, they studied the relationship between substrate concentration [SAD] and reaction velocity V0. Their data is shown below:
[SAD] (uM) V0 (uMs-1)
20 3.4 x 103
40 5.4 x 103
60 6.6 x 103
80 7.4 x 103
Can you determine Kcat and Km from the above data?
2. While [E] remains 2.0 um and [SAD] = 12 uM, what would the reaction velocity V0 be?
3. In a separate happyase experiment using [E] = 1.0 uM, the reaction velocity, V0, is measured as 3.6 x 103 uMs-1. What is the [SAD] used in this experiment?
4.The researchers working on happyase discovered that the compound STRESS is a potent inhibitor of happyase. A kinetics study of happyase in the presence of 1 nM STRESS, gives the following data:
[SAD] (uM) V0 (uMs-1)
20 1.7 x 103
40 2.7 x 103
60 3.3 x 103
80 3.7 x 103
Which class of inhibitors does STRESS belong to?

This is the substrate concentration and the kinetic slopes from lab experiment. I'm suppose to construct a graph to estimate Km and Vmax (that's where I need help. How do I do that? Also, I'm suppose to construct another graph of "linear transfored" plot (lineweaver-burk or Eadie-hofstee plots) to determine Km and Vmax. HELP!

ErmTR is an enzyme found in S. pyogenes strains that are resistant to erythromycin. While working in the lab one afternoon you discover a small molecule (C23) that inhibits the activity of ermTR. To assess the type of inhibitor you discovered, you set up reactions with 6 different concentrations of erythromycin and varying amounts of the C23 small molecule you discovered. To each reaction you add 2 x 10-12 mol of ermTR (total reaction volume: 15 mL) and measure the initial velocities, Vo, by spectrophotometry. You obtained the following data:
Initial Velocity Vo (micromoles/min)
erythromycin | no inhibitor | 1 mM inhibitor | 2 mM inhibitor |
---|---|---|---|
1 | 0.059 | 0.045 | 0.037 |

I am designing a mass spectrometer and the last task asks to
figure out a certain compound based on the ions the spectrometer
has found. It gives an ion ratio of 108:218:432:540 for m/z ratio
of 16:14:12:1. I know the compound is supposed to be caffiene which
has a formula of c8h10n4o2. Dividing the number of ions by 54 gives
me the appropriate chemical formula, but I do not know the
reasoning behind why I would divide by 54. I was wondering if
someone could explain to me, based on the number of ions detected,
how I would arrive to the chemical formula for caffeine?
