Q. The catalytic efficiency of two different enzymes can be compared by the :

A) the Km value
B) the pH optimum value
C) formation of the product
D) molecular size of the enzyme
Explanation

[Solution from source] Km, the substrate concentration that gives half the maximum velocity, reflects an enzyme's affinity for its substrate: a lower Km means higher affinity and efficiency. It is the standard value for comparing enzymes. pH optimum and molecular size say nothing about catalytic efficiency. Answer (1).
