Enzymes a and B Catalyze Different Reactions, but Use the Same

Question 66

Essay

Enzymes A and B catalyze different reactions, but use the same reactant molecule as a substrate.The graph in Figure 3-74 presents the reaction rates observed when enzyme A and enzyme B are mixed together in a single test tube containing molecule X.What are the Vmax and the apparent Km values for each enzyme under these conditions? How might these values change for enzyme B if it were analyzed in the absence of enzyme A? Explain your answer. (A)
xAYXBz\begin{array} { l } x \stackrel { A } { \rightleftharpoons } Y \\X \stackrel { B } { \rightleftharpoons } z\end{array}
