The km of an enzyme is 5. 0 mm. Calculate the substrate concentration when this enzyme operates at one‑quarter of its maximum rate.

Respuesta :

1.67 mM is the substrate concentration when this enzyme operates at one‑quarter of its maximum rate.

It is given that the km of enzyme is 5.0 mM.

Enzyme is a protein based molecule that increase the rate of the given chemical reaction.

The conncetion in the middle of substrate and rate of reaction is calculated by the Michaelis-Menten Equation.

V = Vmax[S] / Km + [S]

where, V is initial velocity Km is measure of affinity and S is substrate concentration.

V = 0.25 [5.0] / 1/4 [5.0]

V =1.67

We apply one quarter in the given equation and the answer would be 1.67 mM
