3. The kinetics of an enzyme are studied in the absence and presence of an inhibitor (A). The intial rate is given as a function of substrat concentration in the table.

	V0	V0
[S] (mmol/L)	no Inhibitor	Inhibitor A
1.25	1.72	0.98
1.67	2.04	1.17
2.5	2.63	1.47
5.00	3.33	1.96
10.00	4.17	2.38

(a) What kind oof competitor is inhibition is involved (competitive, noncompetitive, uncompetitive)? [Please Provide Graph]

(b) Determine Vmax and Km in the absence and presence of the inhibitor.

Expert Solution

The best way to find this is to calculate the reciprocal values and make a graph from these ( 1/S , 1/V0)

The graph goes like this

This graph describes the behavior of a noncompetitive inhibition, if this is true then the values of Km must be the same between the two graphs and the Vmax of the inhibitor must be lower than the no inhibition one.

Let´s get the values of slope and intercept

remember the equation y = mx + b, m is the slope and b the intercept

for the no inhibition one

I choose to points ( x1 = 0.8 y1 = 0.58 , x2 = 0.1 y2 = 0.239)

m = y2 - y1 / (x2-x1)

the value of b is gotten from the straight line equation

y = mx + b

b = y - mx

Choose the values of x2 and y2

b = 0.239 - 0.488*0.1 = 0.19

b = 1 / Vmax

Vmax for no inhibition = 1 / 0.19 = 5.2353

Remember that the value of slope m = Km / Vmax

so if we have a value of 0.488 of m then

Km = m * Vmax = 5.2353 * 0.488 = 2.55

Now if we repeat these calculation for the inhibitor A we get

m = 0.857

b = 0.334

V max= 2.99

Km = 2.56

As you can see

Vmax no inhibitor is greater than Vmax inhibitor A

Km is very similar 2.55 vs 2.56

So the inhibition is non competitive

Finally here´s a graph of 1/S vs 1/V0, values has been extrapolated

The enzyme is studied in the presence of a different inhibitor (inhibitor B). In this case, two different concentrations of inhibitor are used. Data are as follows: a) Determine the apparent Vmax at each inhibitor concentration. b) Determine the apparent KM at each inhibitor concentration. c) Estimate KI from these data. [Hint: Calculate the KI at 3 mM and at 5 mM; and then take the average of the two KI values.] v[(mmol/L)min−1] [S](mmol/L) No inhibitor 3 mM inhibitor B...

3) In enzyme kinetics why does the initial reaction rate (vo) resemble the steady state in living cells? 4) Also, in enzyme kinetics the Km value is an indicator of enzyme binding efficiency, is a low or high Km value indicative of better efficiency in living cells? Why? 5) Consider competitive inhibitors. Why does their presence raise the Km value?
