0 2 . 4 An enzyme’s turnover number (kcat) is the number of substrate molecules converted
into product molecules by one enzyme molecule in 1 second. It is determined using
this equation.
kcat = Maximum rate of enzyme-controlled reaction / μmol dm–3 s–1
Enzyme concentration / μmol dm–3
A scientist investigated the action of a protease enzyme. The scientist prepared a
reaction mixture with a protease concentration of 0.0118 µmol dm–3
. The kcat for the
protease is 110 substrate molecules per second.
Use this information and the formula to calculate the maximum rate of the
protease-controlled reaction.
Give your answer to 3 significant figures.

The scientist:
• mixed a diluted sample of the virus with a bacterial culture in liquid agar
• poured the liquid agar into a Petri dish and let the agar set
• incubated the virus-bacterial culture at 30 °C for 24 hours.
Figure 3 shows the appearance of the Petri dish after 24 hours.
