Catalytic power of an enzyme depends on
A. Km constant
B. Turn Over Number
C. Quaternary structure
D. Both A and B
Answers
Answer:
Option D (Both A and B)
Explanation:
Catalytic power of an enzyme depends on mainly two things
1. Turn Over Number- It is the number of substrate molecules which converted into product per unit time by a molecule of an enzyme.
•Catalytix power is directly proportional to turn over number.
•Carbonic anhydrase is considered as the fastest enzyme.
Here are some turn over numbers of some important enzymes
a. Carbonic anhydrase => 360 lakh/min.
b. Catalase => 50 lakh/min
c. Lysozyme => 30 per minute.
2. Km Constant- It is the concentration of substrate at which rate
of reaction attains half of its maximum velocity.
• This term was coined by M.Menten.
Catalytic power of an enzyme depends on Km per constant and also Turn Over Number.
The answer is option(D.) Both A and B
- (A) Turn Over Number:-
Changing of number of Substrate molecules total number of changing as per the according to the time take by this the enzyme of the molecule.
- (B) Km Constant:-
This Km per Constant means checking of substrate for calucating of rate.
Catalysts have a huge role in the manufacture of industrially important chemicals, because their use increases the speed of the reaction, which in many ways brings economic benefits and accelerates production.
Therefore, a lot of money and human labor is engaged in research in the field of catalysis.
When the speed of a chemical reaction increases with the mere presence of a substance, it is called catalysis.
The substance whose presence increases the reaction speed is called catalyst.
The catalyst does not participate in the reaction, only affects the speed of the action.
