Using the Michaelis-Menten equation competitive inhibition, the Inhibition constant, Ki of the inhibitor is 53.4 μM.

<h3>What is the Ki for the inhibitor?</h3>

The Ki of an inhibitor is known as the inhibition constant.

The inhibition is a competitive inhibition as the Vmax is unchanged but Km changes.

Using the Michaelis-Menten equation for inhibition:

  • Kma = Km/(1 + [I]/Ki)

Making Ki subject of the formula:

  • Ki = [I]/{(Kma/Km) - 1}

where:

  • Kma is the apparent Km due to inhibitor
  • Km is the Km of the enzyme-catalyzed reaction
  • [I] is the concentration of the inhibitor

Solving for Ki:

where

[I] = 26.7 μM

Km = 1.0

Kma = (150% × 1 ) + 1 = 2.5

Ki = 26.7 μM/{(2.5/1) - 1)

Ki = 53.4 μM

Therefore, the Inhibition constant, Ki of the inhibitor is 53.4 μM.

Compound H is optically active and has the molecular formula C6H10 and has a five carbon ring. On catalytic hydrogenation, H is
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that ;

Compound H is optically active and have a molecular formula of C6H10 and therefore undergo catalytic hydrogenation. Catalytic hydrogenation involves the use Platinum/Nickel to produce C6H12

i.e

C_6H_{10} +H_2 \to  ^{Pt/Ni}  \ \ \ C_6H_{12}

The proposed H and I structures are shown in the diagrams attached below .

compound H represents  3- methyl cyclopentene

compound I represents methyl cyclopentane

However; 3- methyl cyclopentene posses just only one chiral carbon which is optically active at the third position and it R and S enantiomers are shown in the second diagram below.
