Enzyme Kinetics (Michaelis Menten/Lineweaver Burke/Eadie-Hostee)

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
What is the Michaelis Menten equation?   v=Vmax [S] / [S] + Km  
🗑
Define Vmax.   The rate of the reaction at saturation substrate concentrations for a given amount of enzyme.  
🗑
The rate of the reaction at saturation substrate concentrations for a given amount of enzyme defines what concept?   Vmax  
🗑
Define Km.   The substrate concentration that results in 50% Vmax.  
🗑
The substrate concentration that results in 50% Vmax defines what?   Km  
🗑
An inhibitor that binds to the active site and competes with the substrate for its occupation is called a _________ inhibitor.   Competitive inhibitor  
🗑
An inhibitor that binds to, and takes an enzyme out of commission is called a ____________ inhibitor.   Noncompetitive inhibitor  
🗑
Competitive inhibitors ____________ (increase / decrease) the apparent Km.   Increase  
🗑
In a Lineweaver Burke plot, a competitive inhibitor will have _______________ (same / different) point on the x axis.   Different  
🗑
In a Lineweaver Burke plot, a noncompetitive inhibitor will have _______________ (same / different) point on the x axis.   Same  
🗑
In a Lineweaver Burke plot, a competitive inhibitor will have _______________ (same / different) point on the y axis.   Same  
🗑
In a Lineweaver Burke plot, a noncompetitive inhibitor will have _______________ (same / different) point on the y axis.   Different  
🗑
This type of inhibitor binds to the active site and is acted upon by the enzyme just as if it was a normal substrate. The enzyme uses its own catalytic machinery to inactivate itself.   Suicide inhibitor  
🗑
Fluorouracil is what type of inhibitor?   Suicide inhibitor  
🗑
The Y axis on the Lineweaver Burke plot indicates ___________.   1/Vmax  
🗑
The X axis on the Lineweaver Burke plot indicates ____________.   -1/Km  
🗑
The Y axis on the Eadie-Hofstee plot indicates _________.   Vmax  
🗑
The X axis on the Eadie-Hofstee plot indicates _________.   Vmax/Km  
🗑
The slope of the Eadie-Hofstee plot indicates __________.   -Km  
🗑
True or False: Both competitive and noncompetitive inhibition is reversible.   True  
🗑
True or False: Both competitive and noncompetitive inhibition is irreversible.   False  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
