EXAM 3 BCH 441 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS GRADED A++ Large km infer that the affinity for substrate is lower since km= (k-1 + kcat (aka k2))/k1 A small km implies k1 and kcat are either small or the rate of reversibility is high or some combination of the two. If the rates of formation and product generation are high, the value of km will be higher but the substrate will not have a high affinity for the enzyme as it quickly either forms and/or dissociates Catalytic ef...
