One can determine Km


and Vmax from the slope
and intercept using the
Lineweaver-Burk Equation.

Enzyme Kinetics

Turnover number: Maximum number of chemical conversions


of substrates to products in a second for a given enzyme
concentration, E0.

Vmax
k2 =
[E]0
Turnover number

Note: The Michaelis-Menten equation, The Lineweaver-Burk


Equation and turnover number are three important concepts
in enzyme kinetics.
