Questions and Answers

What is the steady state assumption in enzyme kinetics?

  • The rate of ES formation is zero
  • The rate of ES formation equals the rate of ES dissociation (correct)
  • The rate of ES formation is less than the rate of ES dissociation
  • The rate of ES formation is greater than the rate of ES dissociation

What is the expression for the rate of the reaction in Michaelis-Menten kinetics?

  • ν = k2 [Eo][S] / KM
  • ν = k2 [Eo][S]^2 / KM
  • ν = k2 [Eo][S] / [S]+ KM (correct)
  • ν = k2 [Eo][S]^2

What is the significance of Km in Michaelis-Menten kinetics?

  • It is the maximum rate of the reaction
  • It is the substrate concentration at half Vmax
  • It is the enzyme-substrate dissociation constant (correct)
  • It is the substrate concentration at saturation
