The turnover number for an enzyme is equivalent to the number of substrate molecules processed per second per enzyme molecule. To a test tube containing a 100 mM concentration of its substrate, you have added an enzyme at a final concentration of 10 µM, and have measured the rate of the reaction to be approximately 500 µM/sec. If the Km for the binding of the enzyme to this substrate is about 100 mM, what is the turnover number?
A) 100
B) 500
C) 1000
D) 5000
E) 10,000
