A science passage reports that the enzyme's catalytic efficiency, measured as k_cat/K_m, exceeded that of all previously characterized homologs by roughly two orders of magnitude.
Which one of the following is most strongly supported by the statement above?
- Every homolog characterized before this enzyme registered a lower catalytic-efficiency value than it did.
- The enzyme's efficiency is precisely two hundred times that of its closest homolog.
- No catalyst more efficient than this enzyme has ever been found anywhere in microbiology.
- Later studies are likely to turn up homologs whose catalytic efficiency surpasses this enzyme's.
- The enzyme's high efficiency results chiefly from a low K_m rather than a high k_cat.
