1- Km
a- increases when the affinity of an enzyme increases
b- increases when the affinity of an enzyme decreases
c- increases when the velocity increases
d- has a unit in Molar
e- has a unit in product per second
f- c and e
g- c and d
h- b and e
i- b and d
j- I dont know
2-Which is true?
a- All enzymes are soluble proteins
b- Heat is enough to disrupt the Alpha Helix structure of
an enzyme such as
chymotrypsin
c- D-Amino Acids can never be found in a protein
d- Beta pleated sheat is more stable than alpha helix
because it consists of
more H bonds
e- NAD is part of an enzyme that can catalyses a transfer
of electrons
f- None of the above
3-which is true
a- Thiamine is the coenzyme needed for a decarboxylase
b- Hexokinase is a Lyase
c- Temperature can cause the reaction go faster by
lowering the Energy of
activation
d- Papain enzyme can keep the same activity over a
certain range of pH
e- in a competitive inhibition, increasing the
concentration of the substrate
will not affect the velocity of the reaction.
4-Km:
a- is the concentration of S that we need to reach Vmax
b- is the concentration of S/2 that we need to reach Vmax
c- is the concentration of S that we need to reach Vmax/2
d- is V/2
e- is the velocity at the concentration of S/2
f- why do I care
g- because it is going to be on either the unified or the
midterm
5-A competitive inhibitor
a- doesn't affect Km
b- increases Km
c- Decreases Km
d- can be overcome by increasing the substrate
concentration
e- b and d
f- c and d
g- a and d
h- Michael is a pain
6-in a Lineweaver Burk equation
a- the fastest reaction is the one with the biggest slope
(I dont think so)
b- the fastest reaction is the one with the highest 1/Km
(are u sure?)
c- the fastest reaction is the one with lowest 1/Vmax
(may be yes may be not)
d- The fastest reaction is the one with the lowest slope
(Aha...)
e- b and d (that's a tricky one)
f- c and d (That's a tricky one too)
g- a and b (think hard)
h- none of the above
