The correct option is D. [S] would need to be 2 KM.
In order for an enzyme obeying the michaelis-menten model to reach 1/2 of its maximum velocity [S] would need to be 2 KM.
What is Michaelis-Menten Model?
The Michaelis-Menten (MM) equation is a popular model for enzymatic reactions that resembles the original dynamics that under assumption that the enzyme concentration remains constant.
The enzyme interacts also with substrate to produce an enzyme-substrate complex, which results in product synthesis and enzyme release.
Some key features regarding the Michaelis-Menten Model are-
- Proteins play an important role as enzymes, which act as catalysts in biochemical reactions.
- They accomplish this by lowering a Gibbs free energy for activation, G, making the reaction more easily reach its equilibrium point.
- The Michaelis-Menten equation can describe the rate (v) of several enzyme-catalyzed reactions.
- Plots of velocity versus substrate concentration for enzymes with Michaelis-Menten kinetics are hyperbolic.
