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.

<h2>How Diamond and Graphite are chemically identical?</h2>
  • On heating diamond or graphite in the air, they burn completely to form carbon dioxide.
  • - Equal quantities of diamond and graphite when burned, produce exactly the same amount of carbon dioxide.

_______________________________________

<h2>Why the physical properties of diamond and graphite are so different?</h2>

Due to the difference in the arrangement of carbon atoms in diamond and graphite
