At Standard Conditions, Hexokinase Concentration Is 3.0 Nmol/ml And Its Km For Glucose Was Measured To Be 3.0 X 104 M. Experimenters, Using An Initial Glucose Concentration Of 160 MM, Found Glucose-6-phosphate Was Being Formed At A Rate Of 65.0 Umol/ml -s


At standard conditions, hexokinase concentration is 3.0 nmol/ml and its Km for glucose was measured to be 3.0 x 104 M. Experimenters, using an initial glucose concentration of 160 MM, found glucose-6-phosphate was being formed at a rate of 65.0 umol/ml -s. Assume the enzyme follows Michaelis-Menteh kinetics to answer the following questions. (18 pts.) a. Find Vmax for this reaction. b. What is the turnover number under these conditions? c. What assumption(s) is/are made when deriving the Michaelis-Menten equation? Explain.
