Question:
(a) A mitochondrion can be modeled as a cylinder 1.5 mm (microns) in length and 0.6 μm in diameter. Calculate the number of citrate synthase enzyme molecules contained in a single mitochondrion, assuming the mitochondrial citrate synthase concentration is 1 μM.
(b) Is this a reasonable answer? Assume that a single citrate synthase molecule is roughly spherical with a diameter of 100 Å (10 nm). Show your reasoning.
