Question text SECTION A: ENZYMATIC REACTIONS This section contains a total of 7 marks. You should allow 7-10 mins to answer the questions in this section. Jeroen is an honours student working in the La Trobe Institute for Molecular Sciences. He is testing the efficacy of a new compound "X" that he hopes inhibits the activity of the enzyme he is interested in, Lockdownase. He conducts a Michaelis-Menten assay where his enzyme, Lockdownase, is incubated in the presence of increasing concentrations of substrate, with a constant concentration of inhibitor X. He obtains the following Lineweaver-Burk plot: Using the data above, answer the following questions (1 mark each): Q1. A. Calculate the Km for the enzyme alone (give your answer to 3 decimal places). Answer 1 Question 1[input] Q2. Calculate the Kmfor the enzyme + inhibitor (give your answer to 3 decimal places). Answer 2 Question 1[input] Q3. Calculate the Vmax for the enzyme alone (give your answer to 3 decimal places).Answer 3 Question 1[input] Q4. Calculate the Vmax for the enzyme + inhibitor (give your answer to 3 decimal places).Answer 4 Question 1[input] Q5. What is the type of inhibitor used in this experiment? Answer 5 Question 1[select: , Competitive, Irreversible, Uncompetitive, Covalent] Q6. What would you alter in the reaction mixture to increase the activity of enzyme back to normal levels (i.e. to before compound X was added) even in the presence of the inhibitor?
