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.
