Chemistry 454-Biochemistry II

Homework Problems 1-Metabolic Flux-the REAL meaning of enzyme kinetics(Numerical Simulation)-DUE 1/31 at the beginning of class. YOU CAN WORK IN GROUPS OF TWO OR THREE BUT NO MORE.

In class I will hand out "Experiment" 5.3, Kinetic Analysis of Sequential Reactions. This is a numerical model of non-enzyme kinetic behavior (but similar in many ways to metabolism) that will help you become accustomed to Excel Spreadsheet models. Answer questions 1-7 concisely with tables and plots if requested. I am giving you the first model below.

Below is a spreadsheet and description of Problem 5.4 which explores the consequnces of having enzyme catalysts (with Km, Vmax, etc).   Your assignment is to do Questions 1-3 and Problems  1-3 and 5 in  Experiment 5.4.  Be sure to show how you came to your conclusions, include any plots and answer questions as fully as you can.
