The rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction is independent of: (a) Concentration of Substrate, (b) Concentration of Product, (c) Enzyme, (d) Temperature.

During an enzyme purification, 0.23 g of protein was dissolved in 5 ml buffer. Suppose 0.5 ml of this solution converted 4.7 mmol of substrate in 30 sec. Calculate specific activity as units/mg protein.
Adi S.
When substrates are present at relatively high concentration and are catalyzed by enzymes, the effect on reaction rate of changing substrate concentration can be described by zeroth-order kinetics. Calculate by what factor the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction changes when the substrate concentration is changed from $1.5 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{M}$ to $4.5 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{M}$
