An Estimation of Minimal Genome Size for a Living Cell Studies of existing cells to determine the minimum number of genes for a living cell have suggested that 206 genes are sufficient. If the ratio of protein-coding genes to non-protein-coding genes is the same in this minimal organism as the genes of Mycoplasma genitulium, how many proteins are represented in these 206 genes. How many base pairs would be required to form the genome of this minimal organism if the genes are the same size as M genilalium genes? (Section 1.5)

Question: what is the KM and Vm and the nature of inhibition
1. Estimate the concentration of an enzyme within a living cell. Assume that:
(a): fresh tissue is 80% water and all of it is intracellular
(b): the total soluble protein represents 15% of the weight
(c): all the soluble proteins are enzymes
(d): the average molecular weight of the proteins is 150,000
(E): about 100 different enzymes are present
