6. Enzymes It provides a pathway for the substrate to proceed at a faster rate. The substrate, S, reacts to form a product P. A given enzyme can only catalyze only one reaction. Example, Urea is decomposed by the enzyme urease. Slow SP Fast 6

13. V max =k cat * E t Turnover Number: k cat Number of substrate molecules (moles) converted to product in a given time (s) on a single enzyme molecule (molecules/molecule/time) For the reaction 40,000,000 molecules of H 2 O 2 converted to product per second on a single enzyme molecule. 13 H 2 O 2 + E → H 2 O + O + E k cat
