A student is given the task of determining the rate of an enzymatic reaction under defined conditions (i.e known substrate and enzyme concentrations; optimal temperature, pH, etc). Assume the student knows nothing about enzymes or how to perform this task. Since you just completed this task virtually, provide a detailed description of the directions you would give the student on how to determine the rate of the reaction? Give sufficient details so that the student with no knowledge of how to complete this task could be successful.

Suppose that you are given the task of determining the SCN- content of a blood sample by forming the Fe(SCN)2+ complex and measuring the absorbance. You begin by taking a 10.00-mL volume of the blood sample, centrifuging it, transferring 0.50 mL of the clear serum to a flask, and then adding 15.00 mL of 0.20M Fe3+. The %T of this solution, measured at 460 nm in a 1.0-cm diameter cuvet, is 75%. A calibration curve, prepared from Fe(SCN)2+ standards, indicates...

You have an enzymatic reaction proceeding at the optimum pH and optimum temperature.

You have an enzymatic reaction proceeding at the optimum pH and optimum temperature. You add a competitive inhibitor to the reaction and notice that the reaction slows down. what can you do to speed the reaction up again? Add more inhibitor to speed up the reaction. Add more substrate; it will outcompete the inhibitor and increase the reaction rate. Increase the temperature. Increase the pH.
