Enzyme Saturation and Vmax
< Prev
Next >

According to the Michaelis-Menten model, when the concentration of a nucleotide substrate is significantly greater than the $$K_m$$ value, the reaction rate approaches $$V_{max}$$. All of the following statements about this phenomenon are true EXCEPT:

A

Increasing nucleotide concentration indefinitely will always result in reaction rates that surpass $$V_{max}$$ due to substrate excess.

B

When the substrate concentration is significantly larger than $$K_m$$, the reaction rate saturates and approaches $$V_{max}$$.

C

In practical experiments, nucleotide concentrations are maintained at levels that bring the reaction rate close to, but not exceeding, $$V_{max}$$.

D

The Michaelis-Menten model indicates that at high substrate concentrations, further increases do not significantly affect the reaction rate.
