Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
An enzyme has a Vmax of 100 µmol/min and a Km of 5 µM. How would you assess its efficiency if the substrate concentration is 1 µM?
💡 Hint: Consider how Km relates to substrate concentration.
If an enzyme's Km decreases after a mutation, what effect does this have on enzyme affinity and substrate concentration needed for half-max velocity?
💡 Hint: Think about how affinity changes.
