Question

1) The Michaelis-Menten constant Is * O related to the molecular weight of the enzyme O a measure of the resistance of the 0 a reflection of the percentage of O a measure of how tightly the enzyme to denaturation polar amino acids in the enzyme substrate is bound to the enzyme 2) The enzyme-substrate (E-S) complex* O may break down to form free enzyme and substrate, or form free enzyme and product O O O always breaks down to form free enzyme and substrate. always breaks down to form free enzyme and product. always breaks down to form more enzyme-substrate complex

Explanation / Answer

Ans 1 : a measure of how tightly the substrate is bound to the enzyme.

The michaelis menten constant refers to the concentration of the substrate in the reaction , when the velocity of the reaction is equal to half of its maximum velocity. It represents the binding affinity of enzyme with the substrate.
