MCQ Practice

The turnover numbers for the enzymes E1 and E2 are 150 s -1 and 15 s -1 respectively. This means

A

E1 binds to its substrate with higher affinity than E2

B

The velocity of reactions catalyzed by E1 and E2 at their respective saturating substrate concentrations could be equal, if concentration of E2 used is 10 times that of E1

C

The velocity of E1 catalyzed reaction is always greater than that of E2

D

The velocity of E1 catalyzed reaction at a particular enzyme concentration and saturating substrate concentration is lower than that of E2 catalyzed reaction under the same conditions

Correct Answer: C
