Which of the following steps should be followed when performing kinetics experiments? Choose all that apply, partial positive and negative mark are given for correct and incorrect answers. enzyme concentration is kept constant for all reactions the enzyme and substrate should be mixed only when the reaction is initiated (when the absorbance readings are taken) the michaelis constant must be known reaction rates must be taken until reaction completion
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.

reaction completion
Although we do not know the exact
concentration of tyrosinase present in the crude
extract, we can still study the kinetic of
tyrosinase-L-DOPA reactions.
