Chapter 20, Problem 20.83E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The value of $K$, $V$ and $k_2$ is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The Michaelis-Menten kineticsis given by the expression as shown below.

$\frac{1}{\text{rate}}=\frac{1}{V}+\frac{K}{k_2\left[{\text{E}}_0\right]}\cdot \frac{\text{1}}{\left[\text{S}\right]}$

Where,

• $V$ is the maximum rate.

• $\left[\text{S}\right]$ is the concentration of substrate.

• $K$ is the Michaelis-Menten constant.

• $\left[{\text{E}}_0\right]$ is the initial concentration of enzyme.
