You are studying a series of enzymes (Enz 1, Enz 2, and Enz 3) that convert a substrate (A) to a product (P). Unfortunately you are unable to probe the kinetics using optical spectroscopy but you do have a method to measure the KD for A and you can also probe the binding constant for an inhibitor (I) that resembles the transition state of the reaction. Based on this information, which is likely the best enzyme (i.e. accelerates the rate of the reaction most versus the non-catalyzed reaction). Justify your answer in a couple of sentences. enzyme 1 KD for A: 500 KD for 1:5 enzyme 2 KD for A:50 KD for 1:50 enzyme 3 KD for A:5 KD for 1:500 You are studying a series of enzymes (Enz 1, Enz 2, and Enz 3) that convert a substrate (A) to a product (P).
