50. The table represents the rates of reaction at specific substrate concentrations for an enzyme that displays classical Michaelis-Menten kinetics. Two sets of inhibitor data are also included. Determine the Km and Vmax for the uninhibited enzyme.

[s](mM) Without inhibitor Vo (µM/s) With inhibitor A With Inhibitor B

1.3 2.50 1.17 0.62

2.6 4.00 2.10 1.42

6.5 6.30 4.00 2.65

13.0 7.60 5.70 3.12

26.0 9.00 7.20 3.58

Please Please Please....show detailed steps so I can repeat this with other problems. Need to be able to do without making a graph, thank you

Expert Solution

Ans. #Part 1. Instructions for plotting LB Plot:

(The process here in for MS Word 2016) -

1. Enter [S] and V values in excel sheet in separate rows. The unit of [S] has been changed from M to uM accordingly.

2. Generate 1/ [S] and 1/V values in excel sheet.

3. Select 1/[S] and 1/V columns and click on “Insert” tab right to ‘Home’ tab.

4. Select ‘scatter plot’ -displayed as few dots in the graph

5. Select trendline option

6. Add linear trendline and check the option for ‘trendline equation’.

#Part 2. Determination of Vmax and Km using LB Plot”

Lineweaver-Burk plot gives an equation in from of y = mx + c

where, y = 1/ Vo, x = 1/ [S],

Intercept, c = 1/ Vmax ,

Slope, m = Km/ Vmax

#a. Enzyme kinetics in absence of inhibitor [y = 0.3921x + 0.0987]:

Vmax = 1 / c = 1 / 0.0987 = 10.1317

Hence, Vmax = 10.1317 uM/s

Now,

Km= m x Vmax = 0.3921 x 10.1317 = 3.9726

Hence, Km= 3.9726 mM

Note: there is no need of unit conversion. Do calculations without using units. Put the respective units as mentioned in question after the final cacluation.

#b. Enzyme kinetics in presence of inhibitor A [y = 0.9802x + 0.1001]:

The Km and Vmax are calculated as in #a.

Vmax = 9.990 uM/s ; Km = 9.7927 mM

#c. Enzyme kinetics in presence of inhibitor B [y = 1.8246x + 0.1397]:

The Km and Vmax are calculated as in #a.

Vmax = 7.1582 uM/s ; Km = 13.0608 mM

# Part 3: Type of Inhibitor:

Inhibitor A: Vmax remains almost the same whereas Km is increased. It is the characteristic of competitive inhibitor A. Therefore, Inhibitor A is a competitive inhibitor.

Inhibitor B: Vmax is lowered but Km is increased in presence of inhibitor B. It is the characteristic of non-competitive inhibitor. Therefore, Inhibitor B is a non-competitive inhibitor.

Note: By seeing the values you say simply say if inhibition takes place or not. However, to determine the type of inhibitor, you must plot the graph (LB plot or others).
