Question

Enzyme kinetics can determine...

A. a deficiency in a specific enzyme

B. the presence of a covalently bound intermediate

C. the type of an inhibition

D. the exact mechanism of a reaction

E. answers A,B,and C.

From the sequential enzyme graph, what represents the final Vmax of the reaction?

A. where B1 intersects the Y axis

B. where B1 intersects the X axis

C. a replot of the Y-intercepts with the concentrations of B

D. a replot of the Y-intercepts with the concentration of A

E. a replot of the X-intercepts with the concentrations of B

Explanation / Answer

Ans 1 . E . Answers A , B and C

Enzyme kinetics helps us to determine the rate of enzyme catalysed reaction . Enzyme lowers the activation energy of the system by forming a covalently bound intermediate . The presence of an agonist or inhibitor can also be detected by the rate of reaction as determined from enzyme kinetics.
