The kinetics analyses of an enzyme are measured as a function of substrate concentration in the presence and in the absence of 2

mM inhibitor
[S] (microM): 3, 5, 10, 30, 90

Velocity (micromol/min) No Inhibitor: 10.4, 14.5, 22.5, 33.8, 40.5
Velocity (micromol/min) With Inhibitor: 4.1, 6.4, 11.3, 22.6, 33.8

Required:

Answer:

take the reciprocal of the values as 1/S and 1/V and plot the values on lineweaver-burk plot.

so the re-arranged data is as following

1/S               1/V (no inhibitor)       1/V (with inhibitor)

0.333           0.096                       0.244

0.2              0.068                         0.156

0.1               0.044                         0.088

0.033          0.029                        0.044

0.011            0.024                         0.029

and the plotted lineweaver-burk plot with the equation of straight line would be....

where, first line represents the velocity of reaction with no inhibitor and second line represent the velocity in presence of inhibitor. X-axis has the substrate concentration as 1/S and y-axis has the velocity as 1/V.

as per the plot, equation of line on the lineweaver-burk plot, Y = mx + c, where c = 1/Vmax and m = Km/Vmax.

so solve for the given equations.

First, equation of line in the absence of inhibitor is Y = 0.23x + 0.021

so Vmax = 1/0.021 = 47.6 micromol/min

and Km/Vmax = 0.23, or Km = 0.23 x 47.6

Km = 10.95

Km do not have a unit, so 10.95 x 10-6 or as per your values round it up to 1 decimal point as 1.1 x 10-5

so value of Vmax = 47.6micromol/min and Km = 1.1 x 10-5 in the absence of inhibitor.

similarly, equation of line in the presence of inhibitor is given as Y = 0.67x + 0.021

so Vmax = 1/0.021 = 47.6 micromol/min

and Km/Vmax = 0.67

or Km = 0.67 x Vmax = 0.67 x 47.6 = 31.89

Km do not have a unit, so 31.89 x 10-6 or 3.1 x 10-5

so value of Vmax = 47.6micromol/min and Km = 3.1 x 10-5 in the absence of inhibitor.

Construction workers attach ropes and pulleys to wooden timbers on an old bridge.
balu736 [363]

Answer:

It is a safe and efficient method.

Explanation:

This method of dismantle the bridge is also a good one but there are some other methods also that are used instead of rope and pulley system such as destroy the bridge by using bombs at the base of pillars and cutting of each part in order to dismantle the bridge. This rope and pulley system is also an efficient way to dismantle the bridge so that's why the engineers used this method instead of other methods due to its safe method.

BRAINLIEST AND 100 POINTS FIRST ANSWER GETS BRAINLIEST!!!
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Half-Life is the time for a substance (U-235 in this case) to decay to 1/2 its original mass.

Since the problem is asking for the time for U-235 to decay to 1/2 its original mass (100 grams to 50 grams) then the decay time is 1 half-life, or 700 million years.

hope it helps u kindly mark as brainliest...
