Question

The Michaelis-Menten equation is often used to describe the kinetic characteristics of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction: v = Vmax[S]/Km + [S] A graph of the Michaelis-Menten equation is a plot of a reaction's initial velocity (vo) at different substrate concentrations ([S]). move the line labeled ?Vmax? to a position that represents the maximum velocity of the enzyme. Next, move the line labeled "1/2 Vmax" to its correct position. Then, move the line labeled "Km" to its correct position. Estimate the values for these important constants:

Explanation / Answer

Vmax will be 200uM/min

Km will be 14uM

1/2 Vmax will be at 100
