    Question

    Some properties of enzymes are listed in column X, and their kinetic expressions are listed in column Y.

    Column X Enzyme properties

    Column Y Expressions

    A.

    Specific activity

    I.

    /

    B.

    Turnover number

    II.

    Substrate concentration at which v =

    C.

    Michaelis constant

    III.

    / moles of enzyme

    D.

    Catalytic efficiency

    IV.

    / protein concentration

    ​Which one of the following options represents all correct matches between Column X and Column Y?​​

    A.

    A-II, B-I, C-III, D-IV

    B.

    A-III, B-II, C-IV, D-I

    C.

    A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I

    D.

    A-I, B-IV, C-II, D-III

    Correct option is C

    Let's analyze the given table and match the enzyme properties in Column X with their corresponding kinetic expressions in Column Y.

    Step-by-step Matching:

    1. Specific Activity (A)

      • Specific activity is defined as Vmax⁡V_{\max}Vmax per unit of protein concentration.
      • This corresponds to Option (iv): Vmax⁡/protein concentrationV_{\max} / \text{protein concentration}Vmax/protein concentration.
    2. Turnover Number (B)

      • The turnover number (kcatk_{\text{cat}}kcat) represents the number of substrate molecules converted to product per enzyme molecule per second.
      • This corresponds to Option (iii): Vmax⁡V_{\max}Vmax / moles of enzyme.
    3. Michaelis Constant (C)

      • The Michaelis constant (KmK_mKm) is the substrate concentration at which the reaction velocity is half of the maximum velocity (Vmax⁡V_{\max}Vmax).
      • This corresponds to Option (ii): v=(Vmax⁡/2)v = (V_{\max}/2)v=(Vmax/2).
    4. Catalytic Efficiency (D)

      • Catalytic efficiency is represented by the ratio kcat/Kmk_{\text{cat}} / K_mkcat/Km, which measures how efficiently an enzyme converts substrate to product.
      • This corresponds to Option (i): kcat/Kmk_{\text{cat}} / K_mkcat/Km.

    Correct Answer:

    • A - iv
    • B - iii
    • C - ii
    • D - i

    This matches with Option 3.
