An enzyme that follows simple Michaelis-Menten kinetics has an initial reaction velocity of 10 μmol·min⁻¹ when the substrate concentration is five times greater than the KM. What is the Vmax of this enzyme? Vmax = 1.1 μmol·min⁻¹

For an enzyme that follows simple Michaelis-Menten kinetics, what is the value of Vmax (in units of μmol minute^(-1)) if V0 is equal to 10 μmol minute^(-1) when [S] = 1515KM?

From a kinetics experiment, kcat was determined to be 1.5 x 103 sec-1. For the kinetic assay, 0.25mL of a 0.45mg/mL solution of enzyme was used, and the enzyme has a molecular weight of 65,000 g/mole. Assume a reaction volume of 3mL. Calculate Vmax (µM∙min-1) for the enzyme and catalytic efficiency ( in M-1sec-1) for the enzyme. The Km for the enzyme was determined to be 7.5 x 10-2M.
