Lesson 1 - Michaelis Menten Equation Flashcards
1
Q
What is the steady state assumption?
A
Rate of Formation = Rate of Dissociation
2
Q
Write the Michaelis Menten Equation
A
3
Q
What happenes at half of Vmax?
A
Km = [S]
4
Q
What happens to enzyme activity at low Km?
A
Km ↓ = ↑ [S] Affinity: cannot take on large amounts of substrate
5
Q
What happens to enzyme activity at high Km?
A
Km ↑ = ↓ [S] Affinity: can take on large amounts of substrate
