Question

**9. If you are studying a reaction that is operating under Michaelis-Menton kinetics and you double the concentration of enzyme, Vmax will double but K, will not change. Explain why the value of KM does not change in this instance. In other words, why is the value of Kv independent of enzyme concentration?

    36. Many biochemical enzyme reactions fit the form of Michaelis Menton Kinetics. These reactions have the following characteristics: a) the rate of reaction is proportional to the enzyme concentration, E. b) at low substrate concentration the rate is proportional to the substrate concentration, S. c) at high substrate concentration the rate is independent of the substrate concentration, S. This type of reaction rate has the form - SE Ky + S When carried out in a batch reactor a material...

    1. Define Vmax and Km (Michaelis constant). What is the mathematical relationship between these two values? 2.What does Km tell you about the affinity of an enzyme for its substrate? 3.Why do we use the slope between the first two data points of Absorbance vs Time to determine V0 when studying enzyme kinetics? Why not use the slope of the entire line?
