You are characterizing a novel enzyme X. You measure the velocity of the reaction with different substrate concentrations and obtain the following data:

Initial substrate concentration (mM)

Vo (μg · h−1)

3.0

10.4

5.0

14.5

10.0

22.5

30.0

33.8

90.0

40.5

180.0

42.5

(a) Determine Vmax and KM.


(b) If the enzyme concentration were decreased to 10% of the amount used in the experiment described above, would the initial reaction velocities change? If so, how?
