velocity (Vm) of 75 nmol l
-1
min-1
.

The enzyme at a substrate concentration of 1.0x10-4
M shows the
initial reaction velocity of 60 nmol l
-1
min-1
. The Km value of the enzyme in molar concentration
(M) is
(A) 2.5 x 10-5

V= Vm*S/(S+Km)
V*S+V*Km=Vm*S
Km=S*(Vm-V)/ V
Km=2.5*10^-5 M
Variant A is correct
