What is the rate enhancement as a result of the presence of an enzyme if the uncatalyzed rate of the reaction is 1.2 * 10²mmol/sec and the catalyzed rate is 2.4 * 10⁴mmol/sec? A) 0.005 B) 200 C) 2.88 * 10⁶ D) 2

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The rate enhancement is calculated by dividing the catalyzed rate by the uncatalyzed rate. In this case, the rate enhancement is (2.4 mmol/sec) / (1.2 mmol/sec) = 2. Therefore, the best choice is B.
