Suppose that, in the absence of a catalyst, a certain biochemical reaction occurs x times per second at normal body temperature (37 °C). In order to be physiologically useful, the reaction needs to occur 2000 times faster than when it is uncatalyzed. Part A By how many kJ/mol must an enzyme lower the activation energy of the reaction to make it useful? Express your answer using two significant figures. PO AQ * o o ? Ea – Eac = kJ/mol
