Question
Consider two enzymes catalyzing two reactions (A --> B --> C ) in a metabolic
cascade with their properties summarized below:
Keg (for
reaction)
Enzyme
Reaction
KM
Kcat / KM
102 M-1s-1
108 M-1s-1
1
A --> B
1
1 mM
2
B --> C
10
10 mM
Initial concentrations are [A] = 0.1 mM and [B] = [C] = 0 and both enzymes are
present at concentrations of 1 mM.
After waiting for 1 ms, the concentrations of A, B, and C are measured.
How do you expect the concentrations to be ordered?
O [B] > [A] > [C]
O [C] > [B] > [A]
O [A] > [B] > [C]
O [A] > [C] > [B]
[C] > [A] > [B]
