Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The time required for an enzyme to convert one substrate molecule into one product molecule is represented by the reciprocal of the catalytic constant (kcat), which is 1/kcat. This value gives an indication of the turnover number, or how many substrate molecules one enzyme molecule can convert per unit time, with the reciprocal providing the time per conversion.
