Define iiKm iiin iiMM iikinetics: ii- iiAnswers ii-The iiconcentration iiof iisubstrate ii[S] iiat iiwhich
ii1/2 iiVmax iiis iireached
Km iiis ii_________ iirelated iito iiaffinity iiof iithe iienzyme iifor iiits iisubstrate ii- iiAnswers ii-
inversely
Vmax iiis iidirectly iiproportional iito iiwhat? ii- iiAnswers ii-to iithe iienzyme iiconcentration
What iicharacterizes iiMM iikinetics? ii- iiAnswers ii-a iihyperbolic iicurve iiwhen iiVmax iiis
iiplotted iiagainst ii[S]. iiMost iienzymes iifollow iiMM iikinetics.
Enzymatic iireactions iidemonstrated iia iisigmoid iicurve iiusually iidenote: ii- iiAnswers ii-
cooperative iibinding ii/ iikinetics, iiie iihemoglobin
In iithe iilineweaver-burk iiplot, iihow iiis iithe iiy-intercept iirelated iito iiVmax? iiWhat iidoes iithe
iislope iiof iithe iiline iiequal? iiThe iiy-intercept? iiThe iix-intercept? ii- iiAnswers ii-They're
iiinversely iirelated. iiThe iislope iiof iithe iiline iiis iiequal iito iiKm/Vmax iiwhile iithe iiy-intercept
iiis iiequal iito ii1/Vmax. iiThe iix-intercept iiis iiequal iito ii1/-Km.
