dmolson21 Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 New to the forums. Any help anyone can give would be great. Thanks The enzyme carbonic anhydrase is found in erythrocytes, and has a molecular mass of approximately 30000 Da. The hydration reaction catalyzed by this enzyme is reversible, and plays a role in the transport of CO2 from the tissues to the lungs. H2O + CO2 <-> H2CO3 If 10 micrograms of pure enzyme catalyzes the hydration of 0.30 g of Co2 in 1 minute, at 37 degrees Celsius, under optimal conditions, what is the turnover number (kcat) for carbonic anhydrase?
