Question: Using D - glyceraldehyde - 3 - phosphate as substrate and an enzyme concentration of 2 . 2 2 x 1 0 - 1 0

Using D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate as substrate and an enzyme concentration of 2.22 x
10-10 M, the following data were obtained for the initial velocity (v) for the forward
reaction:
[S](mM)0.140.290.450.621.202.94
V0(mM s-1
)2.624.906.747.8011.314.9
(i) Determine the Michaelis-Menten constant
5 marks
(ii) If a different substrate was used for this enzyme and higher value for the MichealisMenten constant was determined, what would this tell you about how the enzyme
and this different substrate interact compared to how D-glyceraldehyde-3-
phosphate interacts with the enzyme?
3 marks
(iii) Determine kb, the rate constant for the breakdown of the enzyme substrate
intermediate to form product.
