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
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).
