The rate limiting step of Michaelis Menten kinetics is _________(a) Complex formation step(b) Non-complex formation step(c) Complex dissociation step(d) Non- complex dissociation stepThis question was posed to me in my homework.My question comes from General Reaction Kinetics for Biological Systems in chapter Homogenous Reactions of Bioprocess Engineering |
Answer» CORRECT choice is (c) Complex DISSOCIATION step To explain: The RATE limiting step in the enzyme catalyzed transformation of substrate S into product P is the BREAKDOWN of the ES complex. The rate-limiting step is usually the product formation step. |
