A protein transporter has a k m of 1.6 mM for a protein. The normal, resting plasma
Fantastic news! We've Found the answer you've been seeking!
Question:
A protein transporter has a k m of 1.6 mM for a protein. The normal, resting plasma protein concentration is about 80 mg/dL. This is a clinical unit that is not part of the SI but you have to get familiar with it anyway. One deciliter (dL) is 0.1 L = 100 mL. The molecular weight of the protein is 160 g mol -1 . From this information, calculate the percent of the maximum rate that the protein transporter is going when exposed to normal plasma. Assume saturation kinetics.
