Consider an imaginary bacterial cell that contains equal concentrations of 900 different enzymes in solution in the cytosol. Each protein has a molecular weight of 90000. The cytosol has a specific gravity of 1.22 and contains 20.1% soluble protein by weight (the protein fraction consists entirely of enzymes). Calculate the molar concentration of each enzyme in this cell. molar concentration of each enzyme: M Assume that the bacterial cell is a cylinder (diameter 1.00 um, height 2.00 pm). Calculate the number of molecules of a single enzyme in the cell. number of molecules per enzyme: molecules/cell
