Please provide detailed understandings for 4 and 5. Thank you!!
4. What type of inhibitor (red line) is represented in the following Lineweaver-Burk graph? How do you know?
Do you need to extend the abscissa (X-axis) to the left?
5. DG°' indicates the change in the standard free energy as a reactant is converted to product (in kJ/mol). Based on what you know about these values, which reaction below is the most favorable? _____ Explain your answer.
Explanation / Answer
4. Competitive inhibitor. The inhibitor does not change the Vmax (inverse of the value at both the lines intersecting at Y-axis), however it will change the Km value. Yes, we need to extend the X-axis to the left to obtain the Km and apparant Km (due to inhibitor) values.
5. e) will be the most favourable since it have the lowest delta G°' value (-61.76). Lower the free energy value, higher will be the stability of the product, hence more favourable be the reaction.
