Question

(2 points) The enzyme triose phosphate isomerase (TPI) catalyzes the conversion of DHAP to GAP. If TPI achieves a rate enhancement of $1.0 \times 10^9$, by approximately how much does it lower the activation energy ($\Delta G^\ddagger$)?

Step 1

Step 1: The relationship between the rate constant and the activation energy is given by the Arrhenius equation: $$k = A exp(-E_a/RT)$$ where: * k is the rate constant * A is the pre-exponential factor * $E_a$ is the activation energy * R is the gas constant * T is Show more…
