True
False
What is the rule for the enzyme concentration to affect the enzyme kinetic reaction?
Temperature is 37 Celsius
Substrate in excess
Presence of activators
Optimum pH
Which graph shows the effect of the concentration of substrate on enzyme activity?
How the accumulation of products can reverse or decrease the enzyme activity? (Select all that apply)
Bind to the active site and inhibit the enzyme
Bind to the allosteric site and inhibit the enzyme
Losing the enzyme-substrate complex by binding at the active site
Product bind with the substrate to reduce the reaction
In a reversible reaction, if the product concentration is increased, the enzyme reaction will
Increased
Decreased or slowed
Stopped
Reversed
Optimum temperature is?
60°C
25°C
37°C
100°C
How does optimum temperature help the enzyme kinetic reaction?
Increase the mobility of molecules to move faster.
Increase the number of molecules to have sufficient energy to pass over the energy barrier
Lower the activation value to form product faster
Change in the ionization state of substrate or enzyme
A slight change in pH value can decrease the enzyme activity while an extreme change in pH can lead to the denaturation of the enzyme.
True
False
Radiation is one of the factors and one of it is UV lights. What enzyme is inhibited by the UV lights?
Alkaline phosphatase
Trypsin
Salivary amylase
Phenylethanolamine-N-methyl transferase (PNMT)
What is Michaelis-Menten Equation?
(a)
Regarding Km
It is the Michaelis-Menten Constant
Measure the affinity of the enzyme
towards the substrate
The unit is Moles/Litre same with [Substrate]
Low Km, High affinity of the enzyme towards the substrate and vice versa
Km is the concentration of substrate at half of Vmax
True
False
Instead of a hyperbolic shape graph for [S] against the enzyme reaction (V), the Lineweaver-Burk plot is used to get the accurate value of Vmax and Km. Select all that apply.
The y-intercept shows the value of Vmax
The gradient shows the
enzyme concentration
The x-intercept shows the value of Km
This graph is also called the Double Reciprocal plot graph.
It is converted to a straight line graph.
What is the correct Michaelis-Menten Equation?
Vo = Km + [S]Vmax + [S]
Vo = Km + [S]Vmax [S]
Vo = Km [S]Vmax [S]
There are a few assumptions that must be made to use Michaelis-Menten Equation. Select all that apply.
The rate breakdown of ES equals the rate formation of the ES complex.
[S] is very high compared to [E]. So all enzymes can bound to substrate and form ES complex.
Little accumulation of product [P]. So the formation of ES from E+P is negligible.
The enzyme must have a low Km value. So the enzyme can bind to the substrate easily.
What is the Velocity of reaction (V)?
Total [E] in the system
Initial reaction activity of the enzyme
The number of substrate molecules converted to product per unit time.
The affinity of the enzyme throughout the reaction.
Why Enzyme with low Km is active when the [S] is low and vice versa?
Because low [S] means little amount so it is easier for the enzyme to bind with the substrate.
Because low Km shows high affinity towards substrate so even [S] is low, it still can be activated.
Because low Km means low [E], so low [E] can easily bind with low [S].
Because enzyme with high [E] need is activated only when there is high [S] in the system.
Below is the significance of Km except?
High [S] is used so that the initial reaction rate is proportional to the [E]
The appearance of P or the disappearance of S is often measured by the change in absorbance using a spectrophotometer.
Low Km of the enzyme is used so that the initial reaction can be activated easily.
The enzyme reaction is measured under the optimal pH and temperature condition per unit time.
What are the examples of enzymes that use Michaelis-Menten theory to perform cellular metabolism?
Hexokinase and Amylase
G6PD and G6P
Hexokinase and Aldolase
G6P and Hexokinase
