Kinetic Properties of a Key Enzyme of Prostaglandin Synthesis

Prostaglandins are derived from the 20-carbon fatty acid arachidonic acid in a reaction catalyzed by the enzyme prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase. The enzyme converts arachidonic acid to PGG2, the immediate precursor for many prostaglandins. The table below show the result of enzyme activity with or without an inhibitor, ibuprofen.

You need first to determine the Vmax and Km, with and without the inhibitor, and then determine which type of inhibitor Ibuprofen is.   The data given here makes it does not afford convenient assessment of Vmax and Km by conventional Michaelis Menten graph (since saturation is not reached under the experimental conditions). Therefore, a Lineweaver-Burke analysis is required. Fill the table with the reciprocal values. The results then are to be drawn as a non-logarithmic graph (next page).

In 2017, Leonardo da Vinci's painting Salvator Mundi sold for a record $450.3 million

In 2017, Leonardo da Vinci's painting Salvator Mundi sold for a record $450.3 million. In 1958, it sold for $125, equivalent in purchasing power to about $1,060 at 2017 prices. The painting was originally commissioned by King Louis XII of France in about 1500. The Wall Street Journal guesstimated that the king may have paid Leonardo the equivalent of $575,000 in 1519.

a. What was the annual rate of appreciation in the price of the painting between 1958 and 2017 adjusted for inflation?

b. What was the annual estimated rate of appreciation in the price of the painting between 1519 and 2017 adjusted for inflation.

When Da Vinci's first airplane model was sold at auction in 1895, it went for $230. In 2016, the original owner sold the paininting again and this time Sotheby's auctioneers were able to sell it for the staggering sum of $1,450,000.

a. What was the annual percentage increase in price of the painting over this period? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

b. How much money should the painting be worth in 2030 if the price of the painting increases at the same rate as (a)? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Discuss whether you would have sided with Veronese or with Inquisition court, considering the issues of artistic freedom, a right of the patron, and appropriate subject matter. Provide a rationale for your response.

This is easy too. I would have sided with _________________________

Because of His/their views on:

Artistic Freedom which says_________________________________

Right of the Patron which says__________________________________

Appropriate subject Matter which says__________________________

This last one is easy to describe…….

Describe a real modern situation where similar issues arise, like a controversial film, a professor with controversial views, a business owner expressing a religious opinion in public, a business owner who has an employee who is "just different," etc.
