Chapter 2, Problem 33

(choose chapter or problem)

According to the MichaelisMenten equation (Figure 7), when an enzyme is combined with a substrate of concentration s (in millimolars), the reaction rate (in micromolars/min) is R(s) = As K + s (A, K constants) (a) Show, by computing lim s R(s), that A is the limiting reaction rate as the concentration s approaches . (b) Show that the reaction rate R(s) attains one-half of the limiting value A when s = K. (c) For a certain reaction, K = 1.25 mM and A = 0.1. For which concentration s is R(s) equal to 75% of its limiting value?
