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:
Specific Activity (A)
- Specific activity is defined as VmaxV_{\max}Vmax per unit of protein concentration.
- This corresponds to Option (iv): Vmax/protein concentrationV_{\max} / \text{protein concentration}Vmax/protein concentration.
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): VmaxV_{\max}Vmax / moles of enzyme.
Michaelis Constant (C)
- The Michaelis constant (KmK_mKm) is the substrate concentration at which the reaction velocity is half of the maximum velocity (VmaxV_{\max}Vmax).
- This corresponds to Option (ii): v=(Vmax/2)v = (V_{\max}/2)v=(Vmax/2).
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.
