Research into a disease has identified a new target enzyme. By a stroke of luck, this enzyme possesses an allosteric site! However, the data you received from your technician is incomplete, but enough remains to calculate the key values and determine if this new drug candidate targets the allosteric site. (significant figures matter)   Here are the data: Control (without inhibitor) Vmax: XXXX [S] = 21.00 M          V = 157.00 units/second Km = 57.00   Experimental (with inhibitor) Vmax: 583.00 [S] = 57.00 M         V = 237.00 units / second Km: XXXX ———————————————————————– Question 1: What is the Vmax of the control?   Question 2: What is the Km of the Experimental?   Question 3: What is the mode of inhibition?   Question 4: Given the data is it likely this inhibitor binds in the allosteric site? If yes, how is that known? If no, how does it bind and how is that known?      

Directions: Choose one of the prompts below to complete the assigned taske.  Prompt 1: Methane emissions from cows are a significant contributor to climate change. Cattle release methane primarily through enteric fermentation (a digestive process) and manure management. This issue represents a market failure, as the environmental costs of methane emissions (negative externalities) are not reflected in the market price of beef and dairy products. Prompt 2: The decline in college enrollment and graduation rates in recent years has raised concerns about its long-term economic and societal impact. A well-educated workforce contributes to higher productivity, increased wages, and reduced social inequality, yet many individuals face financial, structural, and informational barriers to accessing and completing college. This issue represents a market failure because positive externalities, such as economic growth, lower unemployment, and improved civic engagement are not fully reflected in the market price of education.  Task:  Design an economic policy to solve one of the above market failures. For your approach, you must: Explain how the policy works and why it might be effective. (2 points) Analyze its impact on supply and demand—Will demand increase or decrease? Change in quantity demanded? (2 Points) Analyze its impact on price and quantity—Will prices rise or fall? Will quantity increase or decrease? (2 Points) Evaluate potential trade-offs—What are the possible downsides or unintended consequences of each approach? Are there other policies that can achieve the same effect? (2 Points)
