Problem 5(50 points). Cibracon blue F3G-A is a competitive inhibitor of some enzymes. You were asked to determine whether Cibracon blue F3G-A covalently attached to agarose would be useful for the chromatographic separation of aldehyde dehydrogenase. The inhibition constant (Kin) for inhibition of aldehyde dehydrogenase by Cibracon Blue F3G-A is 4.2M(the inhibition constant is the dissociation constant for the enzyme-inhibitor complex). Assuming this same value applies for the reaction between the enzyme and the immobilized dye, estimate the velocity of the enzyme through a column packed with Cibracon Blue F3G-A immobilized to agarose ). Assume that the effective dye concentration is 5 mols Cibracon Blue F3G-A per milliliter bed volume, that the enzyme is applied at a concentration of 5mM and travels through the column in plug flow (shock wave), and that the solvent velocity through the column is 0.01cmsec. State any other assumptions you must make to complete your analysis.
