Carbonic anhydrase of erythrocytes (M, 30,000) has one of the highest turnover numbers known. It catalyzes the reversible hydration of CO H2O + CO2 = H2CO3 This is an important process in the transport of CO2 from the tissues to the lungs. If 19 ug of pure carbonic anhydrase catalyzes the hydration of 0.25 g of CO2 in 1 min at 37 °C at Vmax, what is the turnover number (kcat) of carbonic anhydrase? g kcat = min-1
