Energy, Enzymes, and Catalysis Problem Set
Problem 15: Interpreting the plateau of an enzyme kinetics curve
|
In the graph reaction rate vs substrate concentration, the reason that the curve reaches a plateau, and does not increase any further at high substrate concentration is that:
|
A. the active site is saturated with substrate
B. there is a competitive inhibitor present
C. there is a non-competitive inhibitor present
D. the allosteric enzyme is locked in an inactive conformation
E. all substrate has been converted to product
