Here's a precise problem for a chemistry student to solve related to enzyme kinetics and inhibition:A researcher wants to determine the Km and Vmax values of an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of substrate A to product B. They measure the initial reaction rates at varying substrate concentrations and obtain the following data:| [A] (mM) | Initial Reaction Rate (μmol/min) ||----------|---------------------------------|| 1.0 | 0.10 || 2.5 | 0.20 || 5.0 | 0.28 || 10.0 | 0.32 || 20.0 | 0.35

A chemistry student needs to determine the rate constant (k) and the initial rate (vo) of an enzymatic reaction that follows Michaelis-Menten kinetics. The reaction involves the conversion of substrate A to product B in the presence of an enzyme that is inhibited by a competitive inhibitor. The student should also calculate the inhibition constant (Ki) of the inhibitor and determine the type of inhibition (competitive, non-competitive or uncompetitive).
