Question 11 pts

When chymotrypsin is assayed with the surrogate substrate p-nitrophenylacetate, a rapid burst of colored product formation (p-nitrophenolate) is observed, corresponding to a relatively steep slope on the A410 vs. time (seconds) plot, followed by a slower-but-steady release of p-nitrophenolate, corresponding to a relatively less-steep slope on the A410vs. time (seconds) plot. These results were interpreted as:
