Practice question
Question
Phosphoglucose isomerase was incubated with 0.2 M of glucose 6-phosphate. On reaching equilibrium, 55% of glucose 6-phosphate was converted to fructose 6-phosphate. The equilibrium constant for this reaction is _______.
Explanation
In biochemistry, enzyme kinetics dictates that substrate binding and catalytic efficiency determine reaction rates. Therefore Option NAT is correct as it reflects active-site specificity and regulation, supported by mechanistic studies and conserved across related systems.
