The rate of an enzymatic reaction is measured with three similar but different substrates. From the experiments, the Km and kcat values were determined for each substrate. Compund A Compund B Compund C
Km(mM) 31 15 25
Kcat(s^-1) 0.06 0.14 2.80

Based on this data, answer the following questions:
a. Which compound binds tightest to the enzyme?
b. Which compound is the best substrate for the enzyme? Explain your answer.

Movement that is like a t a type of wave that transfers energy where the particles in the medium move in a circle motion while the energy travels left or right. a type of wave that transfers energy where the particles in the medium move perpendicular to the direction in which the energy is traveling. transfers energy from one location to another a type of wave that transfers energy where the particles in the medium move parallel to the direction in which the energy is traveling. movement that is back and forth, like an equal sign = 1. wave 2. parallel movement 3. perpendicular movement 4. transverse wave 5. longitudinal wave 6. surface wave
