Question
The Michaelis-Menten equation models the hyperbolic relationship between [S] and the initial reaction rate V for an
enzyme-catalyzed, single-substrate reaction E + SES →E + P. The model can be more readily understood when
comparing three conditions: [S] << Km. [S] = Km, and [S] >> Km.
Match each statement with the condition that it describes.
Note that "rate" refers to initial velocity V, where steady state conditions are assumed. [Etotal] refers to the total enzyme
concentration and [Efree] refers to the concentration of free enzyme.
[S] << Km
Increasing [Ewall will increase Km.
Almost all active sites are empty.
[S] = Km
Answer Bank
[Enel is about equal to [Exotal].
[ES] is much higher than [Efree]
[S] >> Km
Reaction rate is independent of [S].
Not true for any of these
conditions
The rate is half of the maximum rate.
