You now have reason to believe that Compound X is one of the three inhibitor samples that you tested from Hinesbiopharma. What type of inhibitor is Compound X

inhibitor of XYZase.

Explanation:

Resources Hint Check Answer Stacked O O Run kinetics experiments on XYZase without inhibitors and with Compound X. Results: The compound found in Dr. Bleu's coffee (Compound X) has yet to be identified, but using the small amount extracted, you have discovered that it is an inhibitor of XYZase. Given this revelation, it seems clear that Compound X is the most likely murder weapon. The data you have gathered is shown in Table I. Table 1 0.32 [S] (nM) V. (no inhibitor) (umol) V. (Compound X) (umol) 50 0.14 0.040 75 0.19 0.050 150 0.080 400 0.47 0.14 Compare Samples with and without Compound X. Results: A Lineweaver-Burk plot made from the data with and without Compound X is shown in Graph 2. Lineweaver-Burk plot

Stacked d o Compare Samples with and without Compound X. Results: A Lineweaver-Burk plot made from the data with and without Compound X is shown in Graph 2. Lineweaver-Burk plot 1N. -0.005 0.005 0.01 0.015 0.02 1/[S] . No inhibitor Compound X --- y = 291x + 1.32 ..y = 1023x + 5.29 Graph 2

Question 15 of 17 > Stacked O O Interpret graphs. Results: The conclusions you have made from the graph of Compound X and the samples collected from the labs is shown in Table 3.

it provides an alternative energy pathway for the reaction to proceed.

a catalyst is a substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction but is not consumed during the course of the reaction.

catalysts increase the rate of reaction without being used up. they do this by lowering the activation energy needed. with a catalyst, more collisions result in a reaction, so the rate of reaction increases. different reactions need different catalysts.

a catalyst works by providing an alternative reaction pathway to the reaction product. the rate of the reaction is increased as this alternative route has a lower activation energy than the reaction route not mediated by the catalyst.
