Michaelis - Menten model - Effect of substrate concentration
` S + E ⇄ ES → P + E
; v = (d[P])/dt `
v
[S]
Type some values:
Km =
mM
Vmax =
µM min−1
Activities
If Km has a 5 mM value, how much substrate is needed to reach 90% of maximum velocity?
4 mM
5 mM
50 mM
150 mM
If Km has a 5 mM value, how much substrate is needed to reach 90% of maximum velocity?
1.5 mM
2 mM
6 mM
20 mM
For a given substrate concentration, an increase in Km may be interpreted as
an increase
a decrease
in enzyme efficiency
Two isoenzymes have Km of 3 mM and 30 mM. Which one will be more sensitive to fluctuations in substrate between 20 and 30 mM?
the one with lower Km
the one with higher Km
