Km has same units as [S] 2. At some point on graph, Km must equal [S] Michaelis Constant (Km) V = Vm * [S] = Vm * [S] = Vm [S] + [S] 2 [S] 2 AfraTafreeh.com When V = Vm/2 [S] = Km AfraTafreeh.com Michaelis Constant (Km) Vmax V = Vm* [S] Vmax/2 Km + [S] Km [S] Michaelis Constant (Km) Small Km → Vm reached at low concentration [S] Large Km → Vm reached at high concentration [S] Vmax AfraTafreeh.com V = Vm* [S] Vmax/2 Km + [S] Km [S] AfraTafreeh.com Michaelis Constant (Km) Small Km → Substrate binds easily at low [S] High affinity substrate for enzyme Large Km → Low affinity substrate for enzyme Vmax V = Vm* [S] Vmax/2 Km + [S] Km [S] Key Points Km is characteristic of each substrate/enzyme Vm depends on amount of enzyme present Can determine Vm/Km from Michaelis Menten plot V vs. [S] Lineweaver Burk plot 1/V vs. 1/[S] AfraTafreeh.com AfraTafreeh.com Lineweaver Burk Plot V = Vm* [S] Km + [S] 1 = Km + [S] = Km + [S] V Vm [S] Vm [S] Vm[S] 1= C *1 + 1 V [S] Vm Lineweaver Burk Plot 1 V Km Vm AfraTafreeh.com 1 Vm 1 S -1 Km
