Solution

The statement that is NOT true of enzyme-catalyzed reactions is:

C. substrates can covalently modify the enzyme to cause a permanent decrease in the enzyme's turnover number kcat.

Explanation:

Enzymes are not permanently altered or consumed in the reactions they catalyze. While substrates can bind to enzymes and may even form temporary covalent bonds during the course of a reaction, they do not permanently modify the enzyme. The enzyme returns to its original state after the reaction is complete. Therefore, substrates do not cause a permanent decrease in the enzyme's turnover number kcat. The turnover number (kcat) is a measure of how many substrate molecules an enzyme can convert into product per unit time. It is an inherent property of the enzyme and is not affected by the substrate.

Which of the following statements is/are true of enzyme catalysts?Group of answer choicesThey bind to substrates but are never covalently attached to substrate or product.They increase the equilibrium constant for a reaction, thus favoring product formation.They increase the rate at which substrate is converted into product.They lower the activation energy for the conversion of substrate to product.To be effective, they must be present at the same concentration as their substrates.

How do enzymes affect the rate of reactions?Enzymes decrease the rate of reaction via the binding of substrates to the enzyme active site.Enzymes increase the rate of reaction without being used up. This is achieved by the binding of substrate to the enzyme active site, where the reaction is catalysed.Enzymes decrease the rate of reaction via the binding of substrates to the enzyme active sites.

Enzyme A catalyzes the conversion of substrate S to product P.  When enzyme A is phosphorylated, its kcat value changes from 10 s−1 to 5 s−1 and its KM value changes from 100 μM to 20 μM.  If equal concentrations of each enzyme form are used then compared to the unphosphorylated enzyme A, the phosphorylated form:A.has a higher catalytic efficiency and yields a faster reaction rate when [S] < 20 μM.B.has a higher turnover number and yields a faster reaction rate under saturating conditions.C.has a lower affinity for S and yields a slower reaction rate at all [S].D.is allosterically inhibited and yields a lower reaction rate at all [S].
