If the rate constant for the enzyme-catalyzed reaction is 2 × 10⁵/sec,and the rate constant for the uncatalyzed reaction is 2 × 10-⁶/sec,what is the catalytic power of the enzyme? A)2 × 10^-11 B)10^-1 C)2 × 10^-1 D)10¹¹

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The catalytic power of an enzyme is the ratio of the rate constant of the catalyzed reaction to the rate constant of the uncatalyzed reaction. Here, it is (2 × 10⁵/sec) / (2 × 10⁻⁶/sec) = 10¹¹.
