Michaelis-Menten Kinetics

Problem 1- Find the velocity of a reaction given the substrate concentration.

What is the velocity of a reaction if the substrate concentration is equal to the Michaelis constant?

Recall that

 

 

A.

 

V = Vmax

B.

 

V = Vmax/Km

C.

 

V = Km/Vmax

D.

 

V = Vmax/2Km
E. V = Vmax/2

Problem 2- Find the substrate concentration given the reaction velocity.
