Practice question
Question
A propionate kinase enzyme utilizes two substrates, propionate and acetate, with Kₘfor propionate being half that of acetate. Which one of the following options about the rate of the reaction at very low substrate concentrations is correct?
Explanation
In a propionate kinase enzyme utilizes two substrates,, The rate of propionate utilization is double that of acetate represents established outcome. functional assays confirms option B (The rate of propionate utiliza) as correct, while alternatives misstate substrate or regulatory direction, contradicting textbook data.
