Question
Chapter 31, Problem 13P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The energetic equivalent of 2 ATP molecules is used to activate one amino acid, but only 1 ATP molecule is used. The reason for this statement should be determined.
Concept introduction:
ATP (adenosine monophosphate) is an organic molecule and the chemical that provides energy to the cell. Muscular contractions, chemical synthesis, and nerve impulse propagation, all these activities are run by ATP derived energy. It is synthesized in the mitochondria; therefore, mitochondria istermed as the powerhouse of the cell.

- 7.8 The turnover number is defined as the maximum number of substrate molecules that can be converted into product molecules per unit time by an enzyme molecule. The concentration of enzyme active sites is not necessarily equal to the concentration of enzyme molecules, because some enzyme molecules have more than one active site. If the enzyme molecule has one active site, the turnover number is given by turnover number=?max[E]t=?2(?max is often written as ?max)turnover number=Rmax[E]t=k2(Rmax is often written as Vmax) If the enzyme molecule has more than one active site, then [E]t[E]t is multiplied by the number of active sites to determine its effective concentration. Determine the value of the turnover number of the enzyme carbonic anhydrase, given that ?maxRmax for carbonic anhydrase equals 249 μmol⋅L−1⋅s−1249 μmol⋅L−1⋅s−1 and [E]t=2.16 nmol⋅L−1[E]t=2.16 nmol⋅L−1 .
