18. A transition-state analog:
a. is less stable when binding to an enzyme than the normal
substrate.
b. resembles the active site of general acid-base enzymes.
c. resembles the transition-state structure of the normal
enzyme-substrate complex
d. stabilizes the transition state for the normal enzyme-substrate
complex.
e. typically reacts more rapidly with an enzyme than the normal
substrate.
12. Antibodies are used for the following purposes (circle all
that apply):
a. to specifically labeling proteins in electrophoresis
assays
b. as catalysts
c. as FDA-approved drugs
d. as a dessert topping
e. for protein purification

a) Create a Lineweaver-Burk plot of the data given in the table
above.
b) Calculate Km, Vm, and Vm / Kmfor the enzyme.
c) Also calculate kcat and kcat / Km (the specificity constant)
when given that
[E] = 10 nM.d) How saturated will an enzyme be if the
activity is measured at a substrate concentration 2x greater than
Km? Give the answer as a percentage of Vm.

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?
