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.
This slide reviews the basic principle of Michaelis-Mentenkinetics. As discussed in the next slide, the. flux through any given enzyme will have a finite maximum possible value. To discuss how these. maximal fluxes âcapâ the solution space, let us briefly review how such a space is generated.
