Enzyme X is able to catalyze the breakdown of the toxic redcedar dye to CO2 and water. In a study of the enzyme you have found that the initial velocities (mM · h−1) are dependent on the initial substrate concentration. The data collected are listed below. Plot the data to determine Vmax and KM. How would a tenfold decrease in the enzyme concentration affect the observed KM?
