An enzyme catalyzes the reaction A B. The initial rate of the reaction was measured as a function of the concentration of A. The following data were obtained: (8 marks) 0.05 0.1 0.5 Vo (nM/min) 0.08 0.16 0.79 10 50 100 500 1000 5000 10000 20000 7.3 13 40 53 73 76 79 80 80 a) What is the Km of the enzyme for the substrate A? b) What is the value of Vo when [A] 43? c) What is the value of the y-intercept of the line? d) What is the value o the x-intercept of the line?
