The Michaelis constant (Km) represents
- A. Maximum reaction velocity
- B. Substrate concentration at half Vmax
- C. Enzyme concentration
- D. Inhibitor concentration
Explanation
Km is the substrate concentration at which the reaction velocity is half of Vmax. It indicates enzyme-substrate affinity.
