#Question id: 644


Enzyme X and Enzyme Y are both involved in monosaccharide metabolism. Enzyme X uses glucose as a substrate while Enzyme Y uses fructose as a substrate. At pH=7.0, Enzyme X has a Vmax of 10 μM/s while Enzyme Y has a Vmax of 20 μM/s. Both enzymes have a Km of 3.0 mM for their respective substrates. Which aspects of its reaction will be changed by Enzyme Y?
