Asylums: Essays on the Social Situation of Mental Patients and Other Inmates is a 1961 book by sociologist Erving Goffman.
Vmax is equal to the product of the catalyst rate constant (kcat) and the concentration of the enzyme. The Michaelis-Menten equation can then be rewritten as V= Kcat [Enzyme] [S] / (Km + [S]). Kcat is equal to K2, and it measures the number of substrate molecules turned over by enzyme per second.
Best Answer: Km is expressed in units of concentration, usually in Molar units. Km is the concentration of substrate that leads to half-maximal velocity. Km = 1/2 Vmax. Velocity = V = Vmax*[S] / ([S]+Km) Vmax is the limiting velocity as substrate concentrations get very large.
