The enzyme fumarase catalyzes the hydrolysis of fumarate: Fumarate (aq) + H 2 O(l) L-malate (aq)

Question:

The enzyme fumarase catalyzes the hydrolysis of fumarate:

Fumarate (aq) + H2O(l) → L-malate (aq)

The turnover number for this enzyme is 2.5 × 103 s–1, and the Michaelis constant is 4.2 × 10–6 M. What is the rate of fumarate conversion if the initial enzyme concentration is 1 × 10–6 M and the fumarate concentration is 2 × 10–4 M?
