Draw a Michaelis Menten graph to represent normal pyruvate carboxylase kinetics in the conversion of pyruvate to oxaloacetate. Explain why you drew things as you did.

Expert Solution

Michael is menten equation describes the relationship between the concentration of substrate and velocity of an enzyme catalysed reaction. The graph which I have drawn shows pyruvate as the substrate and enzyme is pyruvate carboxylase. It shows that as the concentration of pyruvate increases the rate of reaction also increases. The rate of reaction is highest at a point which we call as maximum velocity. After achieving maximum velocity, the reaction achieves a plateau. It is because now the number of enzyme molecules, that is, the molecules of pyruvate carboxylase has become limited or the number of substrate molecules, pyruvate molecules have become Limited. All the enzyme active sites are occupied by pyruvate molecules. For the increase in the rate of reaction will be seen only if the concentration of enzyme and substrate is increased.

Please rate high.

IV) Many enzymes obey simple Michaelis-Menten kinetics, which are summarized by the equation: rate = (V max [S])/([S]+K m ); where V max = maximum velocity, [S] = concentration of substrate; and K m = the Michaelis constant. It is instructive to plug in a few values of [S] into the equation to see how rate is affected. What are the rates for [S] equal to zero, equal to K m , and equal to infinite concentration? Show all work.
