If a mixture of these three substrates was presented to elastase with the concentration of each peptide equal to 0.5 mMmM, which would be digested most rapidly? Which most slowly? (Assume enzyme is present in excess

Respuesta :

Answer:

If we take the Kcat / KM ratios, we find that PAPAF would be digested more quickly and PAPAG would be slower.

Explanation:

It is important to highlight that elastase is an enzyme that is not only in humans, to degrade elastic fibers, but is also in microorganisms as a virulence factor for the invasion of tissues in our body in less time and in a more destructive way.
