The Michaelson-Menten mechanism for enzyme catalyzed reactions, E+S <==(-> rate k1 & <- rate k2)==> E*S complex –(k3)-> E+P gives rise to the following equation relating the velocity of reaction (V or d[P]/dt) to the substrate concentration [S]:where Km=(k2+k3)/k1(a) Use the equation as the basis for an overview of mechanisms of regulation of biochemical function.(b) Use this equation to discuss how subcellular localization of biochemical function is acheived.
