The Lineweaver-Burk plot (1/V vs 1/[S]) (Figure 4) below is a common way to plot Michaelis-Menten data in a linear form in order to determine the kinetic constants Vmax and KM. Figure 4:   a) (4 pts) Calculate the values of Vmax (µM/min) and KM (µM) for a specific enzyme if the equation for the Lineweaver- Burk plot fit to the data is y = 0.224x + 0.0222. Enter the answer on the exam, show all your calculations for full credit on the worksheet. Use units where appropriate. b) (4 pts) Calculate the values of Vmax (µM/min) and KM (µM) for the same enzyme in the presence of an inhibitor, if the equation for the Lineweaver-Burk plot fit to the data is y = 0.6663x + 0.0222. Enter the answer on the exam, show all your calculations for full credit on the worksheet. Use units where appropriate. c) (2 pts) Based on the data, what type of inhibition is this? Explain your answer. d) (7 pts) Calculate kcat (in s-1) for this enzyme in the absence of inhibitor, if the above data is obtained in the presence of 75 nM enzyme and the enzyme has 2 active sites. Be careful with unit conversions! Enter the answer on the exam, show all your calculations for full credit on the worksheet. Use units where appropriate.

Please read the following statements taken directly from the course syllabus and then answer the question below:  Honor Code Pledge                                                                                                                                                           “In keeping with Anderson University’s ethical standards of academic integrity and institutional values guided by  its Christian mission, on my honor I pledge that I have not given, received, and/or witnessed any unauthorized  assistance on this work.”   Statement of the Honor Code  Students and faculty at Anderson University are expected to conduct themselves with integrity and to be honest and forthright in their academic endeavors. Just as academic honesty is vitally important to the value of a  college education, academic dishonesty is a serious offense because it diminishes the quality of academic scholarship and defrauds other students, faculty, the institution, and society. Additionally, academic dishonesty by students and faculty undermines the efforts of those who may eventually depend upon our knowledge and integrity.  By enrolling at Anderson University, students agree to uphold the standards of academic honesty and integrity described in Anderson University’s Catalog. Students commit to refrain from all forms of academic dishonesty and, by their example, promote the ideals of honesty, responsibility, trust, fairness, and respect that are central to Anderson University’s mission and values.  The complete Academic Honesty and Dishonesty Policy can be found in the Academic Catalog.   Definition of academic misconduct for this exam:   Usage of google docs, screen shots of questions, etc. to share answers with a group of individuals (this includes texting/emailing answers to another student or using materials from another student in a current or former BIO 201 class)  Answers that appear identical  to other students (exception – answers that require one/two words to answer) Answers that appear to be copied and pasted from a website like Wikipedia or Quizlet decks, etc.  Basically any answer that doesn’t originate from you and your class materials.
