Question

Match each of the following terms from the Michaelis-Menten equation to its correct definition.

Answer 1

Answer:

d. 1:B; 2:D; 3:C; 4:A

Explanation:

The Michaelis-Menten equation is:

$V_{0}=V_{max}\frac{[substrate]}{[substrate]+K_{m}}$

Also

$V_{0}=K_{cat}E_{0}\frac{[substrate]}{[substrate]+K_{m}}$

Where

Kcat = turn over number [ number of substrate molecules turned over by enzyme]

Vmax = Maximum rate (rate of a reaction when enzyme is saturated with substrate)

Km = is the substrate concentration when the V is numerically equal to half of Vmax

Kcat / Km = Enzyme efficiency.
