Assume that the reaction catalyzed by an enzyme follows Michaelis-Menten kinetics. The substrate concentration (Km, Michaelis constant) needed to reach 50% of the maximum reaction velocity (Vmax) is 25 ÎĽM. What substrate concentration is required to obtain at least 95% of the maximum reaction velocity? 25 ÎĽM 50 ÎĽM 100 ÎĽM 250 ÎĽM 475 ÎĽM

Given the Michaelis-Menten equation, select the answer that best describes what happens when substrate concentration greatly exceeds the KM of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction. KM approaches 0 KM = 0 Vo approaches Vmax Vo = Vmax

The Michaelis-Menten equation for the enzyme chymotrypsin is $$v=\frac{0.14[\mathrm{S}]}{0.015+[\mathrm{S}]}$$ where $v$ is the rate of an enzymatic reaction and $[\mathrm{S}]$ is the concentration of a substrate S. Calculate $d v / d[\mathrm{S}]$ and interpret it.
