Summary Introduction

To calculate: The concentration of S at which vo=0.95vmax

Concept introduction: S is denoted as the substrate. Substrate or reactant is the molecule upon which the enzyme acts on to produce product. vo is the initial velocity, that is the rate at which the enzyme accelerates the reactant to form the product. Vmax is the maximum velocity at which the enzymes accelerated or decelerated the rate of reaction by acting upon the reactant to convert it into product.

The preferred substrate is T because the enzyme half-saturates at 7.00 mM for T, but requires 28.0 mM for U, and 112 mM for S. b Question Content Area The rate constant k 2 with substrate S is 9.60×107 sec-1, with substrate T, k 2 = 6.00×104 sec-1, and with substrate U, k 2 = 2.40×106 sec-1. Calculate the catalytic efficiency with S, T, and U. Catalytic efficiency with S =  Catalytic efficiency with T =   Catalytic efficiency with U =   Does enzyme A use substrate S, substrate T, or substrate U with greater catalytic efficiency?
Fumerase catalyzes the conversion of fumerate to malate. fumerate + H2O ⇋ malate The turnover number, kcat, for fumerase is 8.00×102 sec-1. The Km of this enzyme for fumerate is 5.00×10-3 μmol mL-1.   a   In an experiment using 2.00×10-3 μmol·mL-1, what is Vmax?
Suppose you wanted to make a buffer of exactly pH 7.00 using KH2PO4 and Na2HPO4. If the final solution was 0.18 M in KH2PO4, you would need 0.25 M Na2HPO4. Now assume you wish to make a buffer at the same pH, using the same substances, but want the total phosphate molarity ([HPO42−]+[H2PO−4]) to equal 0.20 M. What concentration of the Na2HPO4 would be required?
