g In the absence of allosteric effectors, the enzyme phosphofructokinase displays Michaelis–Menten kinetics (see Fig. 7.15). The v0/Vmax ratio is 0.90 when the concentration of the substrate, fructose-6-phosphate, is 0.10 mM. Calculate the KM for phosphofructokinase under these conditions (in units of mM).

Answer:

The value of the Michaelis–Menten constant is 0.0111 mM.

Explanation:

Michaelis–Menten 's equation:

[tex]v_o=V_{max}\times \frac{[S]}{(K_m+[S])}=k_{cat}[E_o]\times \frac{[S]}{(K_m+[S])}[/tex]

[tex]V_{max}=k_{cat}[E_o][/tex]

Where:

[tex]v_o[/tex] = rate of formation of products

[S] = Concatenation of substrate

[tex][K_m][/tex] =  Michaelis constant

[tex]V_{max}[/tex]  = Maximum rate achieved

[tex]k_{cat}[/tex] = Catalytic rate of the system

[tex][E_o][/tex] = Initial concentration of enzyme

On substituting all the given values

We have :

[tex]\frac{v_o}{V_{max}}=0.90[/tex]

[S] = 0.10 mM

[tex]\frac{v_o}{V_{max}}=\frac{[S]}{(K_m+[S])}[/tex]

[tex]0.90=\frac{0.10 mM}{K_m+0.10 M}[/tex]

[tex]K_m=0.0111 mM[/tex]

The value of the Michaelis–Menten constant is 0.0111 mM.
