A) the number of substrate molecules that molecule of an enzyme converts into products per minute
B) the number of substrate molecules that molecule of an enzyme converts into products per day
C) the number of substrate molecules that molecule of an enzyme converts into products per hour
D) the number of substrate molecules that molecule of an enzyme converts into products per second
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
In enzymology, turnover number is denned as the maximum number of molecules of substrate that an enzyme can convert to product per catalytic site per unit of time and can be calculated as follows\[{{\text{K}}_{\text{cat}}}\text{=}\frac{{{\text{V}}_{\text{max}}}}{{{\text{ }\!\![\!\!\text{ E }\!\!]\!\!\text{ }}_{\text{T}}}}\]
