Consider an imaginary bacterial cell that contains equal concentrations of 900 different enzymes in solution in the cytosol. Each
protein has a molecular weight of 120000. The cytosol has a specific gravity of 1.25 and contains 22.2% soluble protein by
weight (the protein fraction consists entirely of enzymes).
Calculate the molar concentration of each enzyme in this cell.
2.31 x10-6
molar concentration of each enzyme:
