Many biochemical reactions are catalyzed by large protein

Chapter 15, Problem 15.118

(choose chapter or problem)

Many biochemical reactions are catalyzed by large protein molecules called enzymes. A typical mechanism for the conversion of a biochemical substrate (S) to product (P) catalyzed by an enzyme (E) involves the following steps: E 1 S 3:4 ES ES 88n P The rate-determining step is the decomposition of the intermediate enzymesubstrate complex (ES) to products (P). Under these conditions, show that the overall rate of product formation is Rate 5 d3P4 dt 5 k1k2 3E4 T3S4 k21 1 k2 1 k1 3S4 where [E]T equals the total enzyme concentration: [E]T 5 [E] 1 [ES]
