Question

Define temperature coefficient and state its usual value for enzyme controlled reactions.

Accepted Answer

Temperature coefficient (Q10) - measure of how much the rate of a reaction increases with a 10˚C rise in temperatureFor enzyme-controlled rxns = 2 (rate doubles with 10˚C increase)Rate of reaction at t˚CRate of reaction at (t-10)˚C
