Michaelis-Menten Kinetics: Does measuring apparent Km and Vmax take into account competing reactions?
I am learning about why it is important to measure Km and Vmax for each experimental setup because measuring the "apparent" Km and Vmax includes enzyme inhibitions of which one might not be aware.

At what substrate concentration will an enzyme work at 40% of its maximum rate if its Km = 0.095M?
The question involves the Michaelis-Menten kinetics equation.
Here is what I did: I took the Michaelis-Menten equation, replaced v with 0.4Vmax, canceled the Vmaxes (one on each side), and solved ...
