In enzyme kinetics, if the enzyme concentration is doubled
In enzyme kinetics, if the enzyme concentration is doubled
Select an option to attempt
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation
The Michaelis constantis defined as the substrate concentration at which reaction velocity equals:.is an intrinsic property of the enzyme–substrate pair, reflecting binding affinity and catalytic rate constants (). It is completely independent of enzyme concentration. When enzyme concentration is doubled,doubles (since), butremains unchanged because the ratio of rate constants does not change.
