You can do this or IV: extra for doing both. A scientist isolated a new enzyme. He measured the initial rate (Vo) at different concentrations of the enzyme. The concentration used for all the measurements is 85 nM. The following substrate concentration [S] is plotted in the figure as the result. If the enzymatic reaction follows kinetics described by the Michaelis-Menten equation, please answer the following questions: - Estimate the Vmax of the enzymatic equation, show your work. - What is the Km of this enzymatic reaction? Show your work. - Calculate kcat based on the estimation above. - Calculate the initial reaction rate based on your Vmax and kcat values when [S] = 15 mM.

Step 1

From the graph, we can see that the maximum initial reaction rate is around 70 nM/min. Therefore, we can estimate the Vmax to be 70 nM/min. Show more…
