Question

Significance of vmax in michaelis menten equation

Answer 1

Answer:

The equation is V= Vmax [S]/ ([S] + Km). The significance of Vmax is based on enzyme concentration. ... Km is “equal to the substrate concentration that yields Vmax/2; although Vmax is approached, but never attained” (Tymoczko, 115). It is known as the compilation of rate constants, called the Michaelis-Menten constant.
