Question
Chapter 8, Problem 35P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The effect of the mutation on the catalytic rate of an enzyme if the binding of the transition state is unaffected is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The Michaelis-Menten equation relates the concentration of substrate with the velocity of the reaction. A constant which expresses the substrate’s concentration if the velocity of reaction equals half of the maximum velocity of the reaction is known as Michaelis-Menten constant. It is denoted by

At what substrate concentration would an enzyme with a kcat of 25.0 s-1 and a KM of 3.5 mM operate at 25% of its maximal rate? How many reactions would the enzyme catalyze in 45 seconds when it is fully saturated with substate, assuming the enzyme has one active site?
Some enzymes have catalytic activity only limited by diffusion. Which rate constants of an enzyme- catalyzed reaction is/are rate limiting for the enzyme? How does this line up/compare to the rate limiting step of Michaelis-Menten Enzyme Kinetics?
(Please show work and correct answer)
When enzyme solutions are heated, there is a progressive loss of catalytic activity over time due to denaturation of the enzyme. A solution of the enzyme hexokinase incubated at 45 °C lost 50% of its activity in 12 min, but when incubated at 45 °C in the presence of a very large concentration of one of its substrates, it lost only 3% of its activity in 12 min. Suggest why thermal denaturation of hexokinase was retarded in the presence of one of its substrates.

The activation energy for the catalyzed reaction is the same as for the uncatalyzed reaction, but the equilibrium constant is more favorable in the enzyme-catalyzed reaction. The Michaelis-Menten constant Km equals the [S] at which V = 1/2 V, max: At saturating levels of substrate, the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction is proportional to the enzyme concentration.
