Enzyme Kinetics

[rajarehan]

Hi guys

 

 

 

iam new here Plz tell me what is Main defferance between Km and ks according to enzymymology

and what is abbrivatoin of km and ks

 

 

 

 

thanks

First thing to learn is to spell enzymology and also difference and abbreviation. I'll let you get away with iam and plz.

Enzymology is the study of enzymes, their kinetics, structure, and function, as well as their relation to each other.

 

Vmax is only one of several important kinetic parameters. The amount of substrate needed to achieve a given rate of reaction is also important. This is given by the Michaelis-Menten constant (Km), which is the substrate concentration required for an enzyme to reach one-half its maximum reaction rate; generally, each enzyme has a characteristic Km for a given substrate. Another useful constant is kcat, also called the turnover number, which is the number of substrate molecules handled by one active site per second.[25]:8.4

Is that the Km you were looking for.
