Which one of the following statements about Km value is true?

A
Km is substrate concentration at maximal velocity
B
Numerical value of km is propoional to affinity of enzyme for substrate
C
Km is independent of enzyme concentration
D
Km denotes that 100% of enzyme molecules are bound with substrat molecules at that concentration
High-Yield Explanation
Substrate Concentration, A small Km indicates that the enzyme requires only a small amount of substrate to become saturated. Hence, the maximum velocity is reached at relatively low substrate concentrations. A large Km indicates the need for high substrate concentrations to achieve maximum reaction velocity.
