| 1. | increasing the amount of substrate |
| 2. | adding more water |
| 3. | increasing the temperature |
| 4. | decreasing enzyme concentration |
What level of protein organization structure explains the 3-D shape of an enzyme?
| 1. | primary structure |
| 2. | tertiary structure |
| 3. | secondary structure |
| 4. | quaternary structure |
Given below is a schematic metabolic pathway. In an experiment, the concentration of enzyme 1 was increased but the concentration of enzymes 2 and 3 were kept constant What would happen to the rate of production of D?
| 1. | it would go down |
| 2. | it would go up |
| 3. | it would stay the same |
| 4. | it would stop |
The graph shown below shows the effect of a certain factor on the rate of a reaction catalyzed by an enzyme. The X-axis would show the said factor and that will be:
| 1. | substrate concentration |
| 2. | pH |
| 3. | enzyme concentration |
| 4. | temperature |
In the following graph, the X-axis will show:
| 1. | substrate concentration |
| 2. | enzyme concentration |
| 3. | pH |
| 4. | enzyme concentration or substrate concentration |
The rate of enzyme action decreases at higher temperature [after a certain value] because the increased heat
| 1. | changes the pH of the system |
| 2. | alters the active site of the enzyme |
| 3. | neutralizes the acids and bases in the system |
| 4. | increases the concentration of the enzyme |
The "lock and key hypothesis", given by Emil Fischer, attempts to explain the mechanism of:
| 1. | denaturation of enzyme proteins | 2. | the formation of peptide binds |
| 3. | sharing of electrons | 4. | enzyme specificity |
At about 00 C, most enzymes are
| 1. | inactive | 2. | active |
| 3. | destroyed | 4. | replicated |
If an active-site directed inhibitor is present in the medium, the curve that will represent the progress of the chemical reaction will be shown by the letter:
(1) D
(2) C
(3) A
(4) B
If a non active-site directed inhibitor is present in the medium, the curve that will represent the progress of the chemical reaction will be shown by the letter:
| 1. | A | 2. | B |
| 3. | C |
4. | D |
Which of the following will fit in the description of a competitive enzyme inhibitor?
| 1. | a highly reactive compound. |
| 2. | a metal ion such as Hg2+ or Pb2+ |
| 3. | structurally similar to the substrate. |
| 4. | water insoluble. |
A non-competitive inhibitor of an enzyme catalyzed reaction
| 1. | binds to the Michaelis complex (ES) |
| 2. | increases Vmax |
| 3. | is without effect at saturating substrate concentrations |
| 4. | can actually increase reaction velocity in rare cases |
The measurement of which of the following would be indicator of the degree of inhibition by a competitive enzyme inhibitor?
(1) Vmax
(2) The y-intercept on a Limeweaver-Burke Plot
(3) Km
(4) ¼ Vmax
An allosteric inhibitor of an enzyme usually
(1) binds to the active site.
(2) participates in feedback regulation.
(3) denatures the enzyme.
(4) causes the enzyme to work faster.
A change in an amino acid located distantly from the active site of an enzyme can affect the specificity of the enzyme towards its substrate by:
1. making the enzyme unstable
2. cause a relocation of the enzyme within a cell
3. changing the shape of the protein
4. changing the optimum pH and temperature values for the enzyme
