Question

TuteeHUB · Accepted Answer

K_m, the Michaelis constant is defined as the dissociation constant of the enzyme-substrate complex

TuteeHUB · Answer

Km, the Michaelis constant, is defined as that concentration of substrate at which enzyme is working at maximum velocity

TuteeHUB · Answer

It describes single substrate enzymes

TuteeHUB · Answer

Km, the Michaelis constant is defined as the dissociation constant of the enzyme-substrate complex

TuteeHUB · Answer

It assumes covalent binding occurs between enzyme and substrate
