Question
The Michaelis-Menten equation is often used to describe the kinetic characteristics of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction.
Vmax [S]
Km + [S]
where v is the velocity, or rate, Vmax is the maximum velocity. K is the Michaelis-Menten constant, and [S] is the
substrate concentration.
A graph of the Michaelis-Menten equation is a plot of a reaction's initial velocity (ro) at different substrate concentrations
([S]).
First, move the line labeled Vmax to a position that represents
the maximum velocity of the enzyme.
Next, move the line labeled 1/2 Vmax to its correct position.
Then, move the line labeled Km to its correct position.
Estimate the values for Vmax and Km-
