(A) The catalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide by the enzyme catalase is showing below: 2 H;O,=2 H¿0 + O2 In an experiment 5 µmole/L of the enzyme catalase was used to decompose 0.50 M H2O2. The Km of catalase for H2O2 is 0.15 M and the Vmax of the reaction is determined as 100 mol/L- s. Using Michaelis-Menten equation, calculate the rate of the reaction, the turnover number, and the catalytic efficiency for catalase.

(A) The catalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide by the enzyme catalase is showing
below:
2 H;O2=2 H¿0 + O,
In an experiment 5 µmole/L of the enzyme catalase was used to decompose 0.50 M
H2O2. The Km of catalase for H2O2 is 0.15 M and the Vmax of the reaction is
determined as 100 mol/L- s.
Using Michaelis-Menten equation, calculate the rate of the reaction, the turnover
number, and the catalytic efficiency for catalase.
