Your are working in a biodiesel production plant and are trying to optimize the production of biodiesel (Fatty Acid Methyl Esters). The enzyme lipase catalyzes a key step in this reaction (See below). You are tasked with mutating a recombinant lipase to improve the efficiency of the reaction to improve yields of the Fatty Acid Methyl Esters. Which kinetic parameters would you calculate to determine the efficiency of the mutate enzymes. Briefly explain the design of an experiment to calculate these parameters.

Metabolic pathways

Metabolism is defined as the group of life-supporting, enzyme-mediated chemical reactions in organisms. A metabolic pathway is a set of these chemical reactions that involve anabolism (synthesis of complex biomolecules) and catabolism (breakdown of biomolecules into small molecules) that occur inside a cell. Metabolites are the reacting substances, products, and intermediate substances of an enzymatic process that are altered by a series of chemical events catalyzed by enzymes.
