Question

F. In enzyme kinetics, Km=Vmax/2. If Km
value is lower, it indicates ---
a. Enzyme has less affinity for substrate
b. Enzyme has higher affinity towards
substrate
c. There will be no product formation
d. All active sites of enzyme are saturated​

Answer 1

Answer:

option b

Explanation:

Km is the concentration of substrates when the reaction reaches half of Vmax. A small Km indicates high affinity since it means the reaction can reach half of Vmax in a small number of substrate concentration. This small Km will approach Vmax more quickly than high Km value.

Answer 2

Answer:

b)

Explanation:

option b is a correct answer
