Question 4. A scientist is trying to develop an inhibitor against an important bacterial protein that can be used as a new antibacterial compound. They characterize the kinetic properties of the enzyme with (dashed line) and without (solid line) drug. Answer the questions below. Note that "uM" in the plot means M(micromolar,10-6M).
(1) Calculate the (apparent)Vmax and KM for both the no drug and drug condition.
(2) What is the mechanism corresponding to the drug?
(3) The experiment is carried out at 15M drug. Calculate the value of KI.
