A.Your summer research project is to study the kinetics of a newly discovered enzyme. You have already identified the substrate and optimal reaction conditions. Propose how you would set up experiments to characterize the maximum velocity (Vmax) and Michaelis constant (KM) of this enzyme, assuming that it will display Michaelis-Menten kinetics. B. How would you compare the specificity of the enzyme for its natural substrate versus its specificity for a chromogenic substrate analog that was synthesized in the lab

1. Show, using the Michaelis-Menten equation, that when [S] >>> Km, vo = Vmax. Show, using the M-M equation that when [S] <<<Km, vo =[S][Et]kcat/Km. 2. What is Vmax? Provide both a mathematical and written description of Vmax? How can Vmax be experimentally altered? How can we use Vmax to determine the turnover number (kcat) of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction? What is the major challenge of determining Vmax from an Michaelis-Menten plot?

Values for an Enzyme and a substrate are: Km=4 uM and kcat=20/min. For an experiment where [S]=6mM, it was found that Vo=480nM/min. What was the enzyme concentration? Give your answer in nM. Using the same kcat and Km as the previous question, if [Et]=0.5uM gives a Vo=5 uM/min, what wat the [S]? Give your answer in uM. reaction is run with the kcat=20/min and the Km=4uM. Use the enzyme concentration from question 1 above. A very strong inhibitor is added creating...

An enzyme that follows Michaelis-Menten kinetics has a KM value of 20.0 μM and a kcat value of 211 s−1. At an initial enzyme concentration of 0.0100 μM, the initial reaction velocity was found to be 1.07×10−6 μM/s. What was the initial concentration of the substrate, [S], used in the reaction ? Express your answer in micromolar to three significant figures.
