  • Inhibitors: Irreversible and Reversible

    36685 Inhibitors: Irreversible and Reversible Question: It is possible to distinguish between an irreversible inhibitor and a classical mixed type reversible inhibitor by measuring Vmax of the enzymatic reaction as a function of [E]t in the absence

  • Enzymes, Inhibition and Allosteric Control

    The reversible competitive inhibitor idea is a good one too - the inhibition would drop off dramatically and eventually reach a near normal rate of turnover.

  • Maximal Enzyme Velocity and Turnover Number

    The hydration reaction catalyzed by this enzyme is reversible, and plays a role in the transport of CO2 from the tissues to the lungs.

  • Allosteric Enzymes

    Allosteric enzymes function through reversible non-covalent binding of regulatory metabolites called modulator. The enzyme has two types of sites - active and allosteric.

  • Initial velocity of reaction and Haldane relationship enzyme kinetics.

    (a) The question describes a reversible chemical reaction that is catalyzed by an enzyme. The equilibrium constant (Keq) for any reaction is a ratio of the concentrations of products and reactants.

  • Carbonic Anhydrase: Calculate Turnover Number

    Solution is found by determining the number of moles of the enzyme and of CO2 and calculating the turnover number as how many moles of CO2 can be converted per mole of enzyme per minute. Step by step calculations are provided in the solution.
