Practice question
Question
Kinetic parameters for the enzyme fumarase with three different substrates are given below . The specificity of fumarase for the substrates decreases in the order
Explanation
enzyme kinetics analysis shows substrate binding and catalytic efficiency determine reaction rates. Consequently Fumarate > Fluorofumarate > Chlorofumarate emerges as the valid choice since it reflects active-site specificity and regulation, aligning with established principles in biochemistry literature.
