Km: Definition
Km = Substrate at 0.5*Vmax
Km reflects the affinity of the enzyme for its substrate
Vmax indicates what?
Vmax is directly proportional to the enzyme concentration.
Relationship between Km and affinity
-The lower the Km, the higher the affinity
-Smaller Km means enzyme is saturated earlier, which means that small amounts of substrate are picked up by the enzyme.
Reading an inverse curve: Y-intercept equals ?
1/Vmax
The higher the Y-intercept the lower the Vmax
Reading an inverse curve: X-intercept equals ?
(1/-Km)
The further to the right the x-intercept, the greater the Km
Reading an inverse curve: Slope equals ?
Km/Vmax
Reading an inverse curve: Effect of a competitive inhibitor
X-intercept farther to the right, meaning Km is greater, because you need more substrate to get the same effect as the competitive inhibitor is hogging the enzyme.

The y-intercept is the same, meaning Vmax hasn't changed, because there isn't any more enzyme.


The slope is greater, because Km has increased while Vmax has stayed the same.
Reading an inverse curve: Effect of a noncompetitive inhibitor
The x-intercept is the same, meaning Km is the same, because the affinity for the enzyme hasn't changed, there's just less of it.


The y intercept has increased, meaning Vmax has decreased, because enzyme has been inactivated by the noncompetitive inhibitor

The slope is greater, because Vmax has decreased while Km has stayed the same.
