Questions and Answers

What does the Michaelis-Menten equation describe?

  • The variation of enzyme concentration with substrate velocity
  • The variation of reaction velocity with substrate concentration (correct)
  • The variation of reaction velocity with enzyme concentration
  • The variation of substrate concentration with enzyme affinity
  • What does a low Km value indicate about enzyme affinity?

  • High affinity (a low concentration of substrate is needed to half-saturate the enzyme) (correct)
  • Low affinity (a high concentration of substrate is needed to half-saturate the enzyme)
  • Indicates zero order kinetics
  • No relationship to enzyme affinity
  • What does the Lineweaver-Burk plot represent?

  • 1 / vo versus 1/[S] to calculate Km and Vmax (correct)
  • Enzyme concentration versus substrate velocity
  • $V_{max}$ versus $K_m$
  • Substrate concentration versus reaction velocity
  • What does competitive inhibition involve?

    What does it mean when 1/$v_0$ is plotted versus 1/[S] and a straight line is obtained?

    <p>$V_{max}$ and $K_m$ can be calculated using Lineweaver-Burk plot</p> Signup and view all the answers
