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.

A gas is initially confined to a 1.00 L vessel at 3.00 atm of pressure. A valve connecting the 1.00 L vessel to a 3.00 L vessel
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

c. 0.750 atm .

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the two vessels have different volume, we can see that the gas is initially at 3.00 atm into the 1.00-L vessel, but next, it is allowed to move towards the 3.00-L vessel, meaning that the final volume wherein the gas is located, is 4.00 L; therefore, we use the Boyle's law to compute the final pressure:

P_2V_2=P_1V_1\\\\P_2=\frac{P_1V_1}{V_2} \\\\P_2=\frac{3.00atm*1.00L}{4.00L}\\\\P_2=0.750atm

Therefore the answer is c. 0.750 atm .

Best regards!

Suppose an aluminum- nuclide transforms into a phosphorus- nuclide by absorbing an alpha particle and emitting a neutron. Comple
AfilCa [17]

Explanation:

An alpha particles is basically a helium nucleus and it contains 2 protons and 2 neutrons.  

Symbol of an alpha particle is ^{4}_{2}\alpha. Whereas a neutron is represented by a symbol ^{1}_{0}n, that is, it has zero protons and only 1 neutron.

Therefore, reaction equation when an aluminum- nuclide transforms into a phosphorus- nuclide by absorbing an alpha particle and emitting a neutron is as follows.

        ^{27}_{13}Al + ^{1}_{0}n \rightarrow ^{30}_{15}P + ^{1}_{0}n
