?
By definition enzymes
act as biological catalysts
1 of 4
The role of an enzyme is to...
lower the free energy (G) of the transition states, which can include the ES and EP complexes
2 of 4
In one of the practicals you measures the conversion of NAD+ to NADH, why?
the conversion of NAD+ to NADH can be measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 340nm
3 of 4
The brain enzymes hexokinase has a Km of 0.05 mM and a Vmax on 100mol/min, the intracellular levels of glucose are 5mM, what would you assume the %saturation of the enzyme would be?
greater than 80%
