Question

An enzyme-catalyzed conversion of a substrate at 298 K proceeds by a Michaelis-Menten mechanism. The Lineweaver-Burk plot for the analysis of the experimental data has an intercept along the y-axis of 0.357 mmol\(^{-1}\) dm\(^{3}\) s and a slope of 2.10 s. The correct Michaelis constant for the reaction is ______ (rounded off to 2 decimal places).

• A. 5.88 mmol dm\(^{-3}\)
• B. 5.88 mmol dm\(^{-3}\) s\(^{-1}\)
• C. 2.80 mmol dm\(^{-3}\)
• D. 2.80 mmol dm\(^{-3}\) s\(^{-1}\)

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The correct option is (A) :5.88 mmol dm\(^{-3}\).
