Question 65
XL-RNAT2 marksNeeds review
An enzyme following Michaelis-Menten kinetics, catalyses a reaction with an initial velocity (V₀) of 2 μM s⁻¹ at the substrate concentration of 10 μM. If the turnover number (kcat) of the enzyme for the given substrate is 500 s⁻¹ and the enzyme concentration in the reaction is 0.01 μM, then the value of the Michaelis-Menten constant (Kₘ) would be__________ × 10⁻⁶ M (in integer).
