50. The conversion of dissolved carbon dioxide in blood to HCO, and H;O* is catalyzed by the enzyme carbonic anhydrase. The Michaelis-Menten constants for this enzyme and substrate are Km = 8 × 10-5 mol L-' and k2 = 6 × 10° s-1. (a) What is the maximum rate of reaction of carbon diox- ide if the enzyme concentration is 5 × 10-6 M? (b) At what CO2 concentration will the rate of decompo- sition be 30% of that calculated in part (a)?
