Enzyme Kinetics Flashcards
1
Q
Kinetics
A
Study of reaction rate (velocity)
2
Q
Velocity
A
The rate of the reaction (depends on substrate concentration)
3
Q
Lower case K
A
Rate constant
4
Q
1rst order
A
Rate dependent on concentration of 1 reactant
5
Q
2nd order reaction
A
Rate dependent on concentration of 2 reactants
6
Q
Steady state is
A
When almost all of the substrate is consumed , and is produced and broken down at the same rate
