You have isolated a new compound that is a potent inhibitor


You have isolated a new compound that is a potent inhibitor of your target enzyme.

You run experiments in the presence and absence of inhibitor. The double reciprocal (Lineweaver-Burk) plot for the two experiments give you the two following lines:

Experiment 1: y = .224x + 0.0224

Experiment 2: y = 1.11x + .113

So, you get the units correct, the [S] is mM and v is mM/min

Which experiment is which?

What are Vmax and Km for the enzyme in the absence of inhibitor?

If the [I] = 100mM, what is Ki for the inhibitor?
