Textbook Question
Chapter 22, Problem 13P
5 At a very low concentration of a certain substrate, we find that when the substrate concentration doubles, the rate of the enzyme-catalyzed reaction also doubles. Would you expect the same finding at a very high substrate concentration? Explain.

Enzymes function most efficiently at the temperature of a typical cell, which is 37 degrees Celsius. Increases or decreases in temperature can significantly lower the reaction rate. What does this suggest about the importance of temperature-regulating mechanisms in organisms? How does this translate to the development of enzyme assays for clinical laboratory testing equipment? Explain.
