Question

Kinetic assays were performed to better understand the activity of the enzyme 245C in the absense and presence of molecule B. The enzyme follows Michaelis-Menten kinetics.

a) Calculate the VO for this enzyme when [S]=0.03mM and no molecule B is present.

b) Using a properly labelled Lineweaver-Burke plot with accurate x- and y-intercepts, describe the effect of molecule B on the enzyme. Briefly explain how molecule B could be causing these effects.
