Question: The following data were obtained from 3 separate enzyme kinetic experiments using 3 different substrates S1, S2 and S3 forming products P1, P2 and P3

The following data were obtained from 3 separate enzyme kinetic experiments using 3 different substrates S1, S2 and S3 forming products P1, P2 and P3 respectively. The amount of enzyme in each reaction is 1 µM. Find out the rate and graph the data using a Michaelis-Menton and Lineweaver-Burk plots and determine the values for Km, Vmax, Kcat, and Kcat/Km. Which among the 3 substrate is best substrate for this enzyme and why? 

 

[S] (mM)

 [P1] (mM) in 60 min

 [P2] (mM) in 240 min

 [P3] (mM) in 30 min
