An enzyme is discovered that catalyzes the chemical reaction SAD ↔ HAPPY A team of motivated researchers sets out to study the e

nzyme, which they call happyase. They find that the kcat for happyase is 600 s-1. They carry out several experiments and found that, when [Et] = 20 nM and [SAD] = 40 μM, the reaction velocity, V0, is 9.6 μM s-1. The Km for the substrate SAD is __________ μM .

Answer:

The K_{m} of a substrate will be "10 μM".

Explanation:

The given values are:

E_{t} = 20 \ nM

[Substract] = 40 \ \mu M

K_{cat}=600 \ s^{-1}

Reaction velocity, Vo=9.6 \ \mu M s^{-1}

As we know,

⇒  Vo=\frac{K_{cat}[E_{t}][S]}{K_{m}+[S]}

On putting the estimated values, we get

⇒  9.6=\frac{600\times 20\times 10^{-3}\times 40}{K_{m}+40}

⇒  K_{m}+40=\frac{600\times 20\times 10^{-3}\times 40}{9.6}

⇒  K_{m}+40=50

On subtracting "40" from both sides, we get

⇒  K_{m}+40-40=50-40

⇒  K_{m}=10 \ \mu M

An acid and base will combine to form a new substance with new properties in a
garri49 [273]

Answer:

A salt

Explanation:

When an acid and a base are placed together, they react to neutralize the acid and base properties, producing a salt. The H(+) cation of the acid combines with the OH(-) anion of the base to form water. The compound formed by the cation of the base and the anion of the acid is called a salt

(c) Polar solutes were separated by hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) with a strongly polar bonded phase. How would
Lelu [443]

Answer:

(c) The retention time would be higher (d) The retention time would be lower.

Explanation:

For the polar solutes which were separated using the hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) with a strongly polar bonded phase, the retention time would be higher if eluent were changed from 80 vol% to 90 vol% acetonitrile in water.

However, for the polar solutes which were separated using the normal-phase chromatography on bare silica with methyl t=butyl ether and 2-propanol solvent, the retention time would be lower if the eluent were changed from 40 vol% to 60 vol% 2-propanol.
