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.
