In the biosynthetic pathway for folic acid, the compound PABA is the normal substrate for an enzyme in the pathway. The antibiot

Answer:

Inhibitor

Explanation:

Enzyme inhibitors are compounds that can interact with the enzyme but don't trigger any biological response. This is what sulfanilamide does. When the enzyme is bound to sulfanilamide, it stops being able to bind PABA, its normal substrate, and so it cannot perform its biological action. In consequence, the entire biosynthetic pathway for folic acid is stopped.

A mixture of compounds containing diethylamine, phenol, ammonia, and acetic acid is separated using liquid-liquid extraction as
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

I would expect to extract the acetic acid.

Explanation:

In the first step, since we are adding a concentrated acid,<u> it will react with the bases present in the mixture (diethylamine and ammonia) </u><u>forming salts</u><u>, </u><u>which are soluble in water</u>. Therefore, after draining the aqueous layer, we will have phenol and acetic acid left in the organic layer.

In the second step, we are adding a diluted base, so it will react with a strong acid. This compound is acetic acid, and its salt will be present in the aqueous layer. Phenol will be left on the organic layer.

Predict the effect of adding a non competitive inhibitor to the reaction mixture on the rate of reaction at a high substrate con
Darya [45]

Answer:

A noncompetitive inhibitor can only bind to an enzyme with or without a substrate at several places at a particular point in time

Explanation:

this is because It changes the conformation of an enzyme as well as its active site, which makes the substrate unable to bind to the enzyme effectively so that the efficiency of the enzyme decreases. A noncompetitive inhibitor binds to the enzyme away from the active site, altering/distorting the shape of the enzyme so that even if the substrate can bind, the active site functions less effectively and most of the time also the inhibitor is reversible
