Question
Submit a printout of the plot of 1/V vs. 1/[S] and report the values of KM and Vmax.
2) Open file "exercise2" in Excel. (Give the file a new name [File -> SAVE AS], save to DISK,
and work from this saved file.)
This file contains a series of data from three experiments. In each experiment, the reaction
rates (V) were monitored as a function of substrate concentration [S], but in each of the three
experiments a DIFFERENT ENZYME was used. The concentration of the enzymes was kept
fixed, as well as the pH of the solution and the temperature of the reaction. In addition, the
V's for each experiment were determined for the same substrate concentration.
From the data given, plot Lineweaver-Burke plots for each experiment, determine which
enzyme (X, Y or Z) is catalytically most efficient, and explain why. Submit printouts of the
plots you created along with your calculations for KM.

EXERCISES
Use Excel to answer the questions given below.
1) In a typical experiment to characterize an enzyme, Kè and Vmax need to be measured. To
do this, first a series of experiments are run, where for a given initial substrate concentration,
the rate at which the product is formed is monitored. The rate of product formation is
monitored by measuring the product concentration as a function of time. A plot of
concentration of product vs. time will be linear at short time (as long as most of the substrate
molecules have not reacted) and the slope of the linear fit to the data is the rate of product
formation for a given initial substrate concentration. This is the rate of the reaction (V). The
experiment is repeated for different initial substrate concentrations (keeping the enzyme
concentration fixed) and the rate of product formation at each of these substrate concentrations
determined. This series of experiments results in a set of data: reaction rates (V) as a function
of substrate concentration [S]. Using this data a plot of 1/V vs. 1/[S] is constructed - this plot
should be linear as dictated by equation (18), and from the linear fit KM and Vmax are
determined.

You will use Excel to analyze data from an experiment of the type just described to determine
the KM and Vmax that characterizes the enzyme used. Open the file "exercise1" in Excel. (Give
the file a new name [File -> SAVE AS], save to DISK, and work from this saved file.)
This file contains the data from five runs (RUN 1 to RUN 5) monitoring the product
concentration as a function of time for different initial substrate concentrations (all carried out
with the same enzyme concentration). Plot each data set as product concentration vs. time. Fit
the data to a straight line and determine the slope. The slope is the rate of the reaction, V, for a
particular value of [S].
Note: In the "Add Trendline" dialog box (accessed from the Chart menu), first select "Linear"
(for a linear fit to the data) and then click on Options and select the "Display equation on
chart" option. This should show the equation of the straight line fit to the data. Double click
on the equation. This will bring up another dialog box. Click on the "Number" option and
choose Scientific and increase the number of decimal places to 3.
You should end up with five values of V for each of the five values of [S]. Plot 1/V vs. 1/[S]
and determine KM and Vmax from the straight line fit to the data and equation 18.
