Question

Mathematical explanation for enzyme action on substrate was provided by

• A. Vant Hoff
• B. Hans Krebs
• C. Michaelis and Menten
• D. Calvin

Answer 1

The correct option is C Michaelis and Menten

Mathematical explanation for enzyme action on the substrate was provided by Michaelis and Menten. k${}_m$ value or Michaelis constant is defined as the substrate concentration at which half of the enzyme molecules are forming (ES) complex or concentration of the substrate when the velocity of the enzyme reaction is half the maximum value.

So, the correct answer is option B.
