1. Give an example of thermodynamically stable system and a kinetically stable
one. What's the difference?
The following three questions concern the equation:
v = (vmax + [S])/(Km + [S])
2. Show that the rate order of a Michaelis-Menten mechanism at very low substrate concentration is first order and zeroth order at very high? Explain.
3. Explain the meanings of Vmax and Km? How do you get them from a graph of v vs. [S]? Draw a generic example and label appropriately.
4. What are the differences between a competitive and non-competitive inhibition?
