Suppose that a certain biologically important reaction is quite slow at physiological temperature (37 oC) 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 1 × 105-fold increase in the reaction rate?
