The ∆G for a particular enzyme-catalyzed reaction is -20 kcal/mol.If the enzyme is removed,what will be the ∆G for the noncatalyzed reaction?
A)-40 kcal/mol
B)-20 kcal/mol
C)0 kcal/mol
D)+20 kcal/mol
E)+40 kcal/mol

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The difference in ∆G between the catalyzed and noncatalyzed reaction is the ∆G of the catalyzed reaction (-20 kcal/mol). Therefore, the ∆G for the noncatalyzed reaction would also be -20 kcal/mol. Hence, option B is the correct choice.
