Is the bolded statement TRUE or FALSE? In chapter 7 we discussed major concepts related to the kinetics of an enzymatically catalyzed reaction. Given this classify the following as true or false. 31. Saturating conditions result in [ES] approximately equal to [ET]. 32. The kcat is the largest rate constant of any of the steps employed by the enzyme. 33. Loss of an ionic bond, due to mutation of the enzyme, between the enzyme active site and the substrate will lead to a depression (making it smaller) in the Km. 34. An enzyme with a larger kcat will always be a more “efficient” enzyme, in all conditions, than the one with the small kcat. 35. If all of an enzyme is in the ES form, the enzyme will obtain its Vmax.

The current level of S&P 500 index is 1300. The annual risk-free rate is 6%, and the annual dividend yield is 1%. Jane decides to enter to long one futures contract on S&P 500 that matures in 6 months. The multiplier of the futures contract is $250. The initial margin requirement is 10% of the contract value. Assuming that the futures position is priced efficiently, how much should Jane deposit in her account as the 10% initial margin? (Hint: Current level ≠ Futures price)
