Question

The assumptions made in calculating the Michaelis-Menten Equation include

a) that the value of k-2 can be ignored.
b) that the concentration of the substrate is greater than the concentration of E.
c) that the formation and decomposition of ES is the same for a period of time.
d) A, B and C.
e) A and B only.

Answer 1

c) that the formation and decomposition of ES is the same for a period of time

Step-by-step explanation:

Michaelis-Menten equation :

This model explain the approach to enzyme kinetics.The Equation shows how a Free enzyme E and Product P is formed depicting by Following equation.

E+S⇌ES→E+P

Left side represents

E =enzyme

S=substrate

ES=enzyme-substrate complex

Right side

E= Free enzyme

P= product

c) that the formation and decomposition of ES is the same for a period of time
