Multiple Choice
Which step in an enzyme-catalyzed reaction was assumed to be negligible by Michaelis and Menten in their original model?
Michaelis & Menten assumed that the initial reaction for an enzyme catalyzed reaction could be written as shown:
Using this, the rate/velocity of ES-complex breakdown can be expressed by:
Which of the following options is not an assumption made in deriving the Michaelis-Menten equation?
