Chapter 14, Problem 14.15QAP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The concentration of a solution of tryptamine under given conditions should be determined.

Concept introduction:

The rate of the reaction is given by,

$\frac{d\left[P\right]}{dt}=\frac{k_2{\left[E\right]}_0\left[S\right]}{K_m+\left[S\right]}$

[P] − product concentration

k₂ − dissociation constant for enzyme substrate complex into products and free enzyme.

[E]₀ − initial enzyme concentration

[S] − substrate concentration

Km − Michaelis constant
