Answer : The dissociation constant of the PFK‑inhibitor complex is, 5 µM
Explanation :
The expression for reversible competitive inhibition when apparent Km affected by addition of the inhibitor is:
where,
= apparent value = 52 µM
= Michaelis–Menten constant = 40 µM
I = inhibitor concentration = 1.5 µM
= dissociation constant of the PFK‑inhibitor complex
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:
Therefore, the dissociation constant of the PFK‑inhibitor complex is, 5 µM
