In the reaction catalyzed by chymotrypsin, a graph in which the rate is plotted against the concentration of substrate
A) is sigmoidal, characteristic of an allosteric enzyme
B) shows that cooperative kinetics are observed
C) shows that the reaction is zero order
D) is hyperbolic, characteristic of a nonallosteric enzyme

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chymotrypsin, like many enzymes that follow Michaelis-Menten kinetics, exhibits a hyperbolic relationship between the rate of reaction and substrate concentration, indicating it is not allosteric and does not show cooperative binding.
