4) comparative anatomy
Answer:
In the given example, malonic acid is the competitive inhibitor of succinate.
Explanation:
- When a substance diminishes the velocity of an enzyme catalyzed reaction then it is called inhibitor.
- These inhibitors can bind to enzyme in a reversible or irreversible fashion.
- Reversible inhibitor binds to enzyme by non-covalent bonds.
- There are two types of enzyme inhibition: Competitive and non-competitive.
- Competitive inhibition: We use the term competitive if the inhibitor binds to enzyme reversibly at the same site as substrate would bind.
- Here in this example, both succinate and malonic acid have same binding site on enzyme i.e the active site. Since both can bind to the same site, inhibitor competes with the substrate for that site.
- By increasing the concentration of substrate, we can reverse the effect of competitive inhibitor.
- At a sufficiently high concentration of substrate, V-max can be achieved for the reaction. In the Michaelis-Mentens curve we can observe increase in the Km value in the presence of competitive inhibitor.
Explanation:
group b. is called the control group. it is important to compare the 2 groups for any similarities. this determines if the medications in group a are working like intended. to keep track of side effects w/group a..
