Q. A 42-year-old woman with a history of hypertension has been recently prescribed a new medication by her primary care physician. After a few weeks, she reports no improvement in her symptoms, and her blood pressure remains high. She visits a medical biochemist, curious about the mechanism of her new medication and how it might not be adequately controlling her blood pressure. The biochemist pulls out a diagram to explain, which is a plot similar to the one seen in the image attached (Lineweaver-Burk equation plot). He explains that the curve of the patient's medication interaction with its target enzyme can be represented on this plot. The diagram shows two lines: the first one (orange, marked "normal") represents the function of the enzyme without the medication, and the second one (pink) shows the interaction of the enzyme and the medication.
