At pH = 7, the measured Michaelis constant and maximum velocity for the enzymatic conversion of fumarate to L-malate, Fumarate + H2O → L-Malate are 4.0 x 10-6 M and 1.3 x 10 3 [E]0 s-1 , respectively, where [E]0 is the total molar concentration of the enzyme. The Michaelis constant and maximum velocity for the reverse reaction are 1.0 x 10-5 M and 800 [E]0 s-1 , respectively. 8A)WHAT is the equilibrium constant (a value) for the hydration reaction? [Notes: the arrow above is an equilibrium arrow. The activity of water is set equal to unity] 8B.) DRAW all chemical entities in the forward, balanced chemical reaction, above.
Catalysis and Enzymatic Reactions
Catalysis is the kind of chemical reaction in which the rate (speed) of a reaction is enhanced by the catalyst which is not consumed during the process of reaction and afterward it is removed when the catalyst is not used to make up the impurity in the product. The enzymatic reaction is the reaction that is catalyzed via enzymes.
Lock And Key Model
The lock-and-key model is used to describe the catalytic enzyme activity, based on the interaction between enzyme and substrate. This model considers the lock as an enzyme and the key as a substrate to explain this model. The concept of how a unique distinct key only can have the access to open a particular lock resembles how the specific substrate can only fit into the particular active site of the enzyme. This is significant in understanding the intermolecular interaction between proteins and plays a vital role in drug interaction.
