The enzyme carbonic anhydrase is found in the erythrocytes, and consists of a molecular mass of around 30000 Da. The hydration reaction catalyzed by this enzyme is reversible, and plays a vital role in the transport of CO2 from the tissues to the lungs.
H2O + CO2 ↔ H2CO3
If 20 micrograms of pure enzyme catalyzes the hydration of 0.50 g of Co2 in 1 minute, at 37 degrees Celsius, under optimal conditions, then what is the turnover number (kcat) for the carbonic anhydrase?
