Exercise 16
Enzyme A follows simple Michaelis-Menten kinetics.
a. The K m of enzyme A for its substrate S is K m S = 1 mM. Enzyme A also acts on substrate T and its KM T = 10 mM. Is S or T the preferred substrate for enzyme A?
b. The rate constant k 2 with substrate S is 2 x 10 4 sec -1 , with substrate T, k 2 = 4 x 10 5 sec -1. Does enzyme A use substrate S or substrate T with greater catalytic efficiency?
