Suppose that, in the absence of a catalyst, a certain biochemical reaction occurs x times per second
Question:
Suppose that, in the absence of a catalyst, a certain biochemical reaction occurs x times per second at normal body temperature (37°C). In order to be physiologically useful, the reaction needs to occur 5000 times faster than when it is uncatalyzed. By how many kJ/mol must an enzyme lower the activation energy of the reaction to make it useful?
