Question:
In a substrate-enzyme reaction, the term Kₐ denotes which one of the following?
In a substrate-enzyme reaction, the term Kₐ denotes which one of the following?
Show Hint
Ka is the reciprocal of Kd and indicates binding strength.
Updated On: Jan 2, 2025
- Equilibrium constant
- Dissociation constant
- Association constant
- Turnover rate
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
The association constant( \(k_a\)) reflects the strength of binding between an enzyme and its substrate. It is inversely proportional to the dissociation constant (\(k_d\)).
