Given that the concentration of myosin is 25pmol·L−1 and Rmax(Vmax)=208pmol·L−1·s−1 , determine the turnover number of the enzyme molecule myosin, which has a single active site.

8.32 s⁻¹

Explanation:

Given that:

The concentration of myosin = 25 pmol/L

R_max = 208 pmol/L/s

The objective is to determine the  turnover number of the enzyme molecule myosin, which has a single active site.

In a single active site of enzyme is known to be a region where there is binding of between substrate molecules, thereafter undergoing chemical reaction.

The turnover number of the enzyme is said to be the number of these substrate molecule which binds together are being converted into products.

The turnover number of the enzyme molecule of myosin can be calculated by the expression:

⇒

= 8.32 s⁻¹

acid rain does not usually kill trees directly. instead, it is more likely to weaken the trees by damaging their leaves, limiting the nutrients available to them, or poisoning them with toxic substances slowly released from the soil. the main atmospheric pollutants that affect trees are nitrates and sulphates.
