Fast Enzymes

[Melissa Solis 1H]

Can someone please explain what prof. Lavelle meant by "fast enzymes"?

[Chem_Mod]

A fast enzyme has a higher rate constant (k). This means that it is able to convert substrate to product faster.

[Blake Ballew 1H]

Is this section still relevant to this year? I see that there is an asterisk next to the section title. Does that mean we don't have to know about enzyme reactions?

[Anthony_3C]

In the Arrhenius equation, there is the Ea variable which is influenced by enzyme activity. Therefore, a faster enzyme would increase the k value more.

[Rachel Bartley 2B]

Fast enzymes have high k values, which means they convert substrate to products faster than enzymes with lower k values.

[Lulu Almoshawah_2K]

A fast enzyme has has a higher rate constant value and converts substrate to product faster than enzymes with lower k values

[Ellen Brock 2I]

Fast enzymes are essentially enzymes that have a higher k value. This in turn causes there to be a quicker production of products

They have higher k values and speed up the reaction even more. hope this helps:)

[Omar Alkhalili 1J]

Fast enzymes have higher k values and cause lower activation energies.

[Isabella Perez Dis3L]

Hi! Fast enzymes have a higher rate constant value and therefore create a faster production of products.
