9. A.  Vmax is a poor metric for indicating enzyme efficiency because: 1) It changes as a result of using competitive inhibitor 2) The total enzyme concentration affects the value of Vmax 3) It requires measuring enzyme velocity 4) It is independent of the total enzyme concentration 5) It varies as a function of the KM value of the substrate B. What is the main disadvantage of using kcat to compare the efficiencies of enzymes? What is the main advantage of...

A novel hydrolase is found to have a kcat=50 s-1 and KM =1.4x10-4 M at 37 degrees Celcius. It is proposed that the side chain of Tyr155 contributes a hydrogen bond to the transition state of this enzyme. The kinetic parameters for the Y155F mutant of this enzyme are kcat =0.02 s-1 and KM =2.0x10-4 M. A. Why mutate the tyrosine to a phenylalanine instead of another amino acid? B. By how much (in kJ/mol) does Tyr155 stabilize the transition...
