(A) Consider the process:

Bruce Wayne ⇌ Batman

This reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme GOTHAM, which, for this reaction has a kcat of 500 s-1. If the concentration of GOTHAM is 10 nM and the concentration of Bruce Wayne is 20 μM, what is the KM is the initial reaction rate is 3.1 μM s-1?

(B) The enzyme GOTHAM also catalyzes the following reaction:

Selena Kyle ⇌ Catwoman

The KM for this reaction is 120 μM and kcat is 20,000 s-1.

(i) What is the preferred substrate for GOTHAM? Explain

(ii) Which substrate is converted to products with greater catalytic efficiency? Explain

Which of the following statement concerning enzyme-catalyzed reactions is CORRECT? The rate of an enzyme catalyzed reaction is independent of substrate concentration. At saturating levels of substrate, the rate of an enzyme –catalyzed reaction is proportional to the enzyme concentration. The Km for a regulatory enzyme varies with enzyme concentration. If enough substrate is added, the normal Vmax of an enzyme –catalyzed reaction can be attained even in the presence of a noncompetitive inhibitor. The sigmoidal shape of the v-versus...
