A reversible reaction described by the chemical equation shown below
(equation one) has an equilibrium constant of 10. (S represents
substrate, P represents product.) If we have a mixture containing
[S]=2x10E-5 M and [P]=3x10E-5M, and we know that KmS=3x10E-5 M, Vmax
(forward reaction) =2 micromole /(L min), and Vmax (reverse reaction) =
4 micromole /(L min), answer the following questions.
In which direction will the reaction proceed when the appropriate enzyme
is added?
After addition of enzyme, what will the initial velocity be when the
reaction starts toward equilibrium?
Equation one:
