Define certain biologically important reaction is quite slow

Reference no: EM13562205

Suppose that a certain biologically important reaction is quite slow at physiological temperature (37*C ) in the absence of a catalyst. Assuming that the collision factor remains the same, by how much must an enzyme lower the activation energy of the reaction in order to achieve a 2×105-fold increase in the reaction rate?
