Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
An enzyme has Vmax of 800 µmol/min and the total concentration of the enzyme is 0.4 µM. What is kcat? If the concentration of substrate in the environment is changed to 0.2 µM, how would that affect the overall reaction rate?
💡 Hint: Calculate the total reaction rate using enzyme kinetics.
Question 2
Describe the effect of substrate saturation on kcat and why that's important for enzyme functionality in metabolic pathways.
💡 Hint: Consider the relationship between substrate concentration and enzyme effectiveness.
