What is Michaelis-Menton kinetics?
Enzymes vary in their ability to catalyse reactions
What is Vmax?
the highest rate of reaction possible
What is Km?
substrate concentration at 1/2 Vmax
What is an isozyme
Active forms of an enzyme with slightly different amino acid sequence which catalyse the same reaction
Often found in different locations/tissues - different affinity, different regulation
Enzyme definition
Proteins that function by accelerating chemical reactions in biological systems
