Question

The number of substrate molecules converted to product in a given unit of time by a single enzyme molecule at saturation is referred to as the: dissociation constant maximum velocity turnover number Michaelis constant

Answer 1

The correct answer is turnover number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Michaelis–Menten 's equation:

`v=V_(max)* ([S])/((K_m+[S]))=k_(cat)[E_o]* ([S])/((K_m+[S]))`

`V_(max)=k_(cat)[E_o]`

v = rate of formation of products

[S] = Concatenation of substrate

`[K_m]`= Michaelis constant

`V_(max)` = Maximum rate achieved

`k_(cat)` = Catalytic rate of the system = turn over number

`[E_o]` = Initial concentration of enzyme.

The turn over number is defined as number of substrate molecules converted into product by enzyme molecule per second.
