The enzyme carbonic anhydrase catalyzes the following reaction: CO, + H,0 €→HCO; +H A. This reaction is important in the transport of carbon dioxide by red blood cells. Carbonic anhydrase has a molecular weight of ~27,000 g/mol and a turnover number (kcx) of approximately 1 X 10° per second. Assume you are given a solution that is saturated with Co, containing 4 ug of carbonic anhydrase. At what rate (in millimoles of CO, consumed per second) will this reaction proceed under optimal conditions? B. Assuming standard temperature and pressure, how much CO2 gas (in ml) will be consumed in 10 seconds?
