Is vmax affected by enzyme concentration?(a) True(b) FalseI had been asked this question in an online quiz.Question is taken from Determining Enzyme Kinetic Constants from Batch Data in chapter Homogenous Reactions of Bioprocess Engineering

Answer»

The CORRECT choice is (a) True

Easiest explanation: The REACTION rate STILL increases with increasing substrate concentration, but levels off at a much lower rate. By increasing the enzyme concentration, the maximum reaction rate greatly increases. However, enzymes become SATURATED when the substrate concentration is high.
