Important Questions on Enzymes



The following graph shows the concentration of substrate on enzyme activity:
What does the -axis represent?

Coenzyme or metal ion that is tightly bound to enzyme protein is called prosthetic group.
A complete catalytic active enzyme with its bound prosthetic group is called apoenzyme.
Select the correct option.

The following graphs with the solid and dotted lines correspond to the reactions without and with enzyme, respectively. Which of the following graph(s) correctly represents the concept of activation energy?

Study the following
(I) | value | Affinity of the enzyme | Inverse measure enzyme affinity |
(II) | Hydrolases | bonds | Linking compounds |
(III) | Transferases | Transfer of a group | Inhibitor of reaction |
(IV) | Emil Fisher | Lock and key hypothesis | Formation of ES complex |
The correct combinations are

List-I | List-II | List-III | |||
A | Coenzymes are organic compound | i | No structure similarities | I | Ribose-5 phosphate isomerase |
B | Isomerases | ii | Differ from inorganic catalysis | II | During catalysis |
C | Non-competitive enzyme inhibition | iii | Catalyzing interconversion of optical positional isomers | III | Operates at high temperatures also |
D | Enzyme catalysts | iv | With the apoenzyme only as a transient | IV | Metal ion of copper |
The correct match is:
