Calculate the catalytic efficiency for hexokinase


Hexokinase is an enzyme that catalyzes the phosphorylation of sugars. Given the values below, discuss the interaction of the enzyme with both of these substrates and calculate the catalytic efficiency for hexokinase with each substrate if the concentration of hexokinase = 1.5uM.

Glucose KM (mM) = 0.1 Vmax (mM/s) =1

Fructose KM (mM) = 0.7 Vmax (mM/s) = 1.8
