Biochemistry - Enzyme Kinetics Flashcards
1
Q
What is Vmax?
A
The max velocity of moles of substrate enzymes can convert into a product per second. Slide 4
2
Q
What is Km?
A
The substrate concentration where Vmax is 50%. Slide 4
3
Q
What is the Michaelis - Menten equation?
A
Describes the rate of catalysis as a function of substrate conc. V = Vmax [S]/Km + [S]. Slide 8
4
Q
What can the Michaelis - Menten equation be arranged to?
A
1/V =Km/Vmax x 1/[S] + 1/Vmax. Slide 8
