An enzyme is governed by Michaelis-Menten Kinetics. The apparentincreases four fold due to the addition of inhibitor but the reaction rate declines by 50%. The substrate concentration in the reaction is:
Select an option to attempt
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation
Michaelis-Menten kinetics with competitive inhibitor:In competitive inhibition:• Apparent(given, 4-fold increase)•remains unchanged• Reaction rate halved:From Michaelis-Menten equation:andDividing the first by the second:Answer:(Option 2).
