Michaelis-Menten hypothesis states that_____________?
Correct answer: D. Enzyme- substrate complex formation is essential in enzymatic reactionOrder DNA Kits
- A. Rate of enzymatic reaction is independent of substrate concentration
- B. Rate of non enzymatic reaction is proportional to substrate concentration
- C. Km is the enzyme substrate complex association constant
- D. Enzyme- substrate complex formation is essential in enzymatic reactionOrder DNA Kits
Explanation
Michaelis-Menten kinetics assumes that the enzyme first binds the substrate to form an enzyme-substrate complex, which then produces product. The reaction rate therefore depends on substrate concentration rather than being independent of it.
