Draw a Michaelis menten plot
What does the Michaelis menten equation assume
Also assumes that the reverse reaction( [ES]→ [E]+[S] (k-1) ) can be neglected
What is the expression for the disocciation constant
Recall the Michaelis menten equation
derive the Michaelis menten equation from the expression for the dissociation constant
what is the steady state assumption and draw the graph for it *
recall the equation for the Michaelis menten constant
how do you find initial velocity of a reaction using the Michaelis menten constant
Explain what the Michaelis menten equation shows and how Vmax and Km are obtained from a Michaelis menten plot
What does Km tell you
The affinity of the enzyme for the substrate
What does it mean if [Substrate]<Km
