The digestive enzyme chymotrypsin hydrolyzes nitrophenyl trimethylacetate in a two-step reaction. The initial reaction rate, V0, is 5 × 10–6 M/sec, and the KM for the reaction is 5.6 × 10–7. The rate of enzyme-product complex formation is 0.37/sec, and the rate of product release is 1.3 × 10–4/sec. The total concentration of chymotrypsin is 2 × 10–5 M. What is the maximum rate of the reaction?
