Hexokinase is an important enzyme in the metabolism of glucose. If the concentration of hexokinase in our eukaryotic cell is 20 um, how many glucose molecules are present per hexokinase molecule?

As the concentration of glucose in a cell equals approximately 1 mM, the ratio of glucose/hexokinase is 1 mM/0.02 mM = 50 : 1. As a result, one molecule of hexokinase would convert 50 molecules of glucose.

Q.2 For the nitrogen molecule, calculate the following: i) Translation energy per molecule at 300K ii) Translation energy per mole at 300K iii) Number density at 298.2K iv) Concentration at 298.2K

KE per molecule = 3/2 kT = 3/2 * 1.38e-23 * 300 = 6.21e-21 (J) KE per mole: 3/2 RT = 3.74 kJ In the next calculations, it is suggested...

Km of Hexokinase enzyme for the glucose is 0.15 mM and Glucokinase is 2 mM”. Discuss this statement in terms of the significance of glucose metabolism.

Glucokinase and Hexokinase are enzymes which phosphorylate glucose to glucose-6-phosphate, trapping glucose inside the cell.Compared to hexokinase, glucokinase has a higher Km (lower binding affinity) and a higher Vmax (increased...
