Chemistry

Using 1.0 nM enzyme X for the enzyme kinetics experiments, youobtained the reaction rates at different concentrations ofsubstrate (shown in the following table). Assume that the enzyme Xfollows a typical Michaelis-Menten kinetics.

[substrate] (μM) Reaction rate (μmol/s)

2 7

5 17

10 29

20 44

50 67

100 80

200 89

500 95

1000 98

a) Estimate the Vmax and Km values of the enzyme X in thisreaction using the double reciprocal plot.

b) If 5.0 nM of the enzyme X is used in the experiment, whatwill be the Vmax and Km values of the enzyme X?
