In an imaginary pathway the intermediate E is a substrate ofboth enzyme 1 and enzyme 2, creating products F and G respectively.Intermediate E is present at 1.2 mM and the Km values for thissubstrate for enzymes 1 and 2 are 0.2 mM and 3 mM respectively.
Question: What would the effect of an increasein the concentration of E have on the relative populations of theproducts F and G?
- Only the population of G would increase as enzyme 1 is alreadyworking a maximum.
- Both F and G would increase to equal amounts of eachproduct.
- Both F and G would increase but the amount of F would begreater than G
- You cannot predict the relative populations of F and G from theinformation given.
