gluscose trasporter in teh liver cell binds with Km of 40mM. Calculate what fraction of vmax the Vo operating when blood glucose is 10mM 2. Draw a Michaelis-Menten kinetic curve and identify Vmax and Km. Indicate on the curve where the reaction is first order, where the reaction is zero order, where the reaction operates at half-saturation, and the range where most enzymes operate  Be very clear about your labels.

Question

1. A gluscose trasporter in teh liver cell binds with Km of 40mM. Calculate what fraction of vmax the Vo operating when blood glucose is 10mM

2. Draw a Michaelis-Menten kinetic curve and identify Vmax and Km. Indicate on the curve where the reaction is first order, where the reaction is zero order, where the reaction operates at half-saturation, and the range where most enzymes operate  Be very clear about your labels.

Expert Solution
Step 1: Define Km and Vmax

Km is the kinetic constant that determines the affinity of an enzyme to its substrate.

Vmax is maximum reaction rate at which the rate of reaction is independent of substrate concentration.
