Question

which of the followings are true about V0 and Vmax?

		A. The unit for each of them is M
		B. Vmax is a special V0 when all enzymes bind substrate
		C. Vmax is independent of enzyme concentration
		D. V0 can be determined using a linear correlation of product and time in the beginning of a reaction It has multiple answers

Answer 1

-V0 or Initial velocity :- When enzymes binds with the substrate and start the reaction as fast as it can in order to produce product than the initial rate of reaction is known by this V0 or initial velocity

-Vmax is :- when all the enzymes in a reaction already tied with the available substrate than new substrate will have to wait until another enzyme becomes available ( rate of reaction is limited by concentration of enzyme ) this maximum rate of reaction of a particular enzyme at particular concentration is called Vmax.

-So,option (b) is correct which says that Vmax is special type of V0 when all substrate bind up with enzymes.
