The unique properties of each amino acid are determined by its particular:
1. R group
2. Amino group
3. Kinds of peptide bonds
4. Number of bonds to other amino acids
Based on the graph of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction, which of the following could be used to increase the reaction rate beyond point C?
1. increase the amount of substrate
2. add more water
3. increase the temperature
4. decrease enzyme concentration
Given below is the graph showing the effect of substrate concentration on enzyme activity. In the presence of a competitive inhibitor, when the concentration of the substrate is progressively increased:
1. | The Km value increases but the reaction will not achieve Vmax |
2. | The Km value increases but the reaction can ultimately achieve Vmax |
3. | The Km value decreases but the reaction will not achieve Vmax |
4. | The Km value decreases but the reaction can ultimately achieve Vmax |
