The units of Vmax and V are amount of product over time, typically µmol/min or similar.

Vmax is the maxium rate a reaction can occur at substrate fully saturation. The units of Vmax and V are amount of product over time, typically µmol/min or similar.

How do you estimate the value of Vmax for two different concentrations of the substrate?

The Vmax would be the highest rate, when the enzyme is fully saturated. So as you increase substrate the Vmax will increase to a certain point (Vmax). Beyond that point, no matter how much substrate you add the Vmax will not increase.


What does increased Vmax suggest?

An increase in Vmax suggest an increase in the amount of enzyme in the reaction. Also this increase in Vmax deceases the Km vaule, which means less substrate is needed.


When did Yamaha start making the VMAX?

Yamaha started making the VMAX in 2008. The VMAX, however, is no longer being manufactured in 2013 though and is out of production at the moment with no plans for future production.


Suppose that the enzyme concentration was increased by a factor of four what would be the value of km and vmax?

KM would not change, since it is a constant. Vmax would half, because Vmax depends on the concentration of the enzyme.


What are the difference of competitive and non competitive inhibition...want the answer in term Km and Vmax?

Competitive inhibition: Vmax remains the same and Km Changes Non-competitive (pure): Vmax changes and Km remain the same


What physics equation do you use to find the positive position of half of the Vmax in a SHM oscillation?

Mass/Synthesised pressure = SHM Vmax


Does vmax increase with increasing amount of enzyme?

Yes, Vmax has a linear relationship with the amount of enzyme. This in turn deceases the Km of the reaction.


Is Vmax a threshold of substrate concentration for initiation of an enzymatic reaction?

Oddly phased question in my opinion. Vmax is only effected by the amount of enzyme present in the reaction. Substrate concentration has zero effect on Vmax. There for I believe the answer in no. {Enzyme concentration is responsible for this}


How the Vmax achieved in Michael's- Menten equation?

Vmax is the maximum possible rate that can be achieved by the addition of substrate. It levels off at v max because availability of substrate is no longer a limiting factor. Km is defined by 1/2 of Vmax. In reality Vmax levels off but then the curve goes down once substrate concentration increases viscosity.


Which has a higher Vmax: glucokinase or hexokinase?

Glucokinase


Where is the oil tank located on the 1990 Yamaha VMax motorcycle?

there is no oil tank on a Vmax motorcycle. The only oil is in the crank case, and the shaft drive.


What are common problems with 1989 Yamaha vmax?

One of the problems with the 1989 Yamaha VMax is the sparking from the spark plug. Another problem is the leaking under the dashboard.
