1) The kinetic parameter of an enzyme is:

Km = 0.15 mM for substrate A
Km = 1.2 mM for substrate B
Vmax is same for both the substrate

a) Calculate the initial velocity (Vo) for each substrate in terms of Vmax when:

i) [S] = 0.15 mM
ii) [S] = 1.5 mM
iii) [S] = 15 mM

b) Which substrate has greater affinity for the given enzyme?

2) The following data was obtained for an enzyme-catalyzed reaction. Estimate the Km and Vmax for this enzyme and find what will be the Vo at [S] = 2.5 x 10-5 M?

[S], M Vo (nmoles/min/mg/protein)
6.25 x 10-6 15
7.50 x 10-5 56.3
1.50 x 10-4 60
1.00 x 10-3 74.5
1.00 x 10-2 75
