6. Enzymes and Enzyme Kinetics

Use the plot below. The Km of both enzymes for their substrate is:

Suppose a company develops two enzymes that degrade highly toxic compounds to non-toxic compounds. Your task is to degrade the greatest amount of toxic compound in the shortest amount of time.

A) Which enzyme is better to use when [S] = 0.167 mM? ____________

B) Which enzyme is better to use at saturating [S]? ____________

Considering the Lineweaver-Burk plot below, which of the following enzymes would be better to use (converts more substrate to product) when the [S] = 0.001 M?
