Questions and Answers

What is the turnover number in enzyme kinetics?

  • The time it takes for an enzyme to saturate with substrate
  • The rate at which the product is converted to the substrate
  • The stability of the enzyme-substrate complex
  • The number of substrate molecules converted to product in a given unit of time on a single enzyme molecule (correct)
  • What happens if a competitive inhibitor is removed from the system?

  • The enzyme remains inactive
  • The action of the enzyme is fully restored (correct)
  • The Vmax of the reaction increases
  • The binding affinity between substrate and enzyme decreases
  • What is the impact of competitive inhibition on Km and Vmax?

  • Km increases, Vmax remains the same
  • Both Km and Vmax decrease
  • Km increases, Vmax decreases (correct)
  • Km decreases, Vmax remains the same
  • Which type of reversible inhibition involves the inhibitor binding covalently to the enzyme?
