Chapter 20, Problem 43P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The values of kcatCO2/KMCO2 and kcatO2/KMO2 as s-1M-1 should be determined.

Concept introduction:

If the concentration of enzyme is constant and the substrate concentration is gradually increased, the reaction velocity also increases up to a maximum and after that it will remain constant even though the substrate concentration increases further.

The Michael is constant, KM is the substrate concentration at half of the maximum velocity. The smaller the KM of an enzyme, the smaller the amount of substrate required to saturate the enzyme.

kcat refers to the turn over number which is defined as the number of substrate molecules that is converted to product by each enzyme site per unit time.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The reason for the occurrence of oxygenation reaction should be determined.

Concept introduction:

The ratio between turn over number and Michael is constant; kcatKM, is known as specificity constant. It is a measure of the efficiency of the enzyme on two competing substrates.

Hello, For the image included: A) Which of the following statements are true of the malate dehydrogenase reaction in biochemical standard conditions?  Choose all that apply. Group of answer choices:   The reaction is spontaneous since ∆G°' is positive The reaction is spontaneous since ∆G°' is negative The reaction is not spontaneous since ∆G°' is positive The reaction is not spontaneous since ∆G°' is positive The equilibrium favors products since K is greater than 1 The equilibrium favors reactants since K is greater than 1 The equilibrium favors products since K is less than 1 The equilibrium favors reactants since K is less than 1 The reaction is always at equilibrium       B)  If the concentration of oxaloacetate is 107 times lower than the concentration of malate.  Is the reaction spontaneous?  Assume biochemical standard conditions. Group of answer choices No, because RTlnQ is very positive Yes, because RTlnQ is very positive No, because RTlnQ is very…
