An enzyme ATPase has a molecular weight of
daltons,
value of 10-4 M, and a K₂
value of K₂ = 104 molecules ATP/min molecule enzyme at 37∞C. The reaction catalyzed is the
following:
which can also be represented as
where S is ATP. The enzyme at this temperature is unstable. The enzyme inactivation kinetics
are first order:
where
is the initial enzyme concentration and
In an experiment with a par-
tially pure enzyme preparation,
of total crude protein (containing enzyme) is added to a
1 ml reaction mixture containing 0.02 M ATP and incubated at 37∞C. After 12 hours the reac-
tion ends
and the inorganic phosphate
concentration is found to be 0.002 M,
which was initially zero. What fraction of the crude protein preparation was the enzyme?
Hint: Since
