Increasing enzyme concentration typically increases reaction rate by providing more active sites for substrate binding and complex formation.
Increasing enzyme concentration increases the reaction rate because more active sites are available for substrate binding, leading to faster formation of enzyme-substrate complexes.
| Front | Explain why an increase in enzyme concentration usually increases the rate of reaction ( 2 marks) |
|---|---|
| Back | more enzyme = more active sites more collisions between substrate and active site/faster formation of enzyme-substrate complexes; |
