Quantitative Relationships Between Rate Constants to Calculate Km, Kinetic Efficiency (kcat/Km) and Vmax - I Measurement of the rate constants for a simple enzymatic reaction obeying Michaelis-Menten kinetics gave the following results: k1=2108M1sec1k1=1103sec1k2=5103sec1a. What is Ks, the dissociation constant for the enzyme-substrate complex? b. What is Km, the Michaelis constant for this enzyme? c. What is kcat (the turnover number) for this enzyme? d. What is the catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km) for this enzyme? e. Does this enzyme approach kinetic perfection? (That is, does kcat/Km approach the diffusion-controlled rate of enzyme association with substrate?) f. If a kinetic measurement was made using 2 nanomoles of enzyme per mL and saturating amounts of substrate, what would Vmax equal? g. Again, using 2 nanomoles of enzyme per mL of reaction mixture, what concentration of substrate would give v = 0.75 Vmax? h. If a kinetic measurement was made using 4 nanomoles of enzyme per mL and saturating amounts of substrate, what would Vmax equal? What would Km equal under these conditions?arrow_forwardAnswers to all problems are at the end of this book.

Determining the Branch Points and Reducing Ends of Amylopectin A 0.2-g sample of amylopectin was analyzed to determine the fraction of the total glucose residues, that are branch points in the structure. The sample was exhaustively methylated and then digested, yielding 50-mol of 2,3-dimethylgluetose and 0.4 mol of 1,2,3,6- letramethylglucose. What fraction of the total residues are branch points? I low many reducing ends does this sample of amylopectin have?arrow_forward
