Question:

In 1913, biochemists Leonor Michaelis and Maude Menten proposed the rational function model (see figure)

v (s) = Vmax S KM + s

for the velocity of the enzymatic reaction v, where s is the substrate concentration. The constants V_max and K_M are determined from experimental data.

Vmax Vmax 2 V KM Michaelis-Menten function v(s) = Vmax S KM + S S (A) Show that lim v(s) = Vmax S-00 Vmax (B) Show that v(KM) 2 (C) Table 10 lists data for the substrate
