The km of an enzyme


1. Vmax:

a.) is the maximal velocity at which an enzyme canfunction

b.) The Vmax can be determined from taking the reciprocalof the y-intercept.

c.) is determined on a Lineweaver-Burke plot by takingthe (-) reciprocal of the x-intercept

d.) is low for an enzyme with a high Km and low substrateaffinity

e.) all of the above

2. The Km of an enzyme:

a.) is equal to the substrate concentration that givesmaximal velocity of an enzyme

b.) is a hypothetical number that cannot be determinedexperimentally

c.) is positively affected by a non-competitiveinhibitor

d.) is a measure of how tightly an enzyme binds to itssubstrate
