The turnover number for an enzyme is known to be 500 min-1 . a mutant of the enzyme was made that resulted in the destabilization of the es complex of 1 kcal/mole, and a destabilization of transition state (es‡ ) of 2.5 kcal/mol. calculate the kcat of the mutant enzyme (assuming a temperature of 27°c). kcat = (kbt/h).e-(δg‡/rt) t = temperature in kelvin kb = 3.297 ×10−24 cal/k h = 1.583 x 10-34 cal. s r = 2 cal/k. mol

Explanation:

turnover number for an enzyme = 500/min

destabilization of the ES complex = 1Kcal/mole

destabilization of transition state (ES‡ ) = 2.5 kcal/mol

kB = 3.297×10−24 cal/K

h = 1.583 x 10-34 cal.s  

R = 2 cal/K.mol

we Know that

kcat = (kBT/h).e-(ΔG‡/RT)

T = temperature in Kelvin

By considering the following reaction

                                         K1                K2        

                             E  +  S  ⇆   (ES‡ )     ⇒         E + P

                                         K-1  

                               Ф  = K2(ES‡ )

where

               ΔG‡ = -RTlnKeq‡

     K‡eq

     K(cat)= Kb T/h   x    K2x ES‡/ES Now by putting values we get

with the invention of the automobile, the woman of the house could drive to the store and get groceries. women were also free to socialize more. during world war ii women were allowed to work in factories to the war effort and could drive to work or ride mass transit buses to their jobs.
