Enzyme Kinetics: Problem Soving

This document discusses enzyme kinetics and provides examples of solving kinetics problems. It presents Michaelis-Menten equations and shows how to determine Vmax and Km values from kinetic data by plotting the data in Michaelis-Menten, Eadie-Hofstee, and Hanes-Woolf forms. It also demonstrates how to determine the type of inhibition and inhibition constant KI for different inhibitors using the same plots and equations.
