Question

The catalytic efficiency of two different enzymes can be compared by the (A) molecular size of the enzymes (B) pH optimum values (C) Km values (D) formation of the product

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

The catalytic activity of enzymes can be compared by its rate reaction, i.e. km values. A small km indicates high affinity since it means the reaction can reach half of V max in a small number of substrate concentration. This small km will approach V max more quickly than high km value.
