Textbook Question
Chapter 24, Problem 2P
Tracing Carbon Atom Incorporation in Fatty Acids (Integrates with Chapters 18 and 19.) Use the relationships shown in Figure 24.1 to determine which carbons of glucose will be incorporated into palmitic acid. Consider the cases of both citrate that is immediately exported to the cytosol following its synthesis and citrate that enters the TCA cycle.

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
