    How to calculate Km from Kcat and K2/K for alpha-chymotrypsin hydrolysis

    yes, I agree that there are easier ways to express Km but the lab isn't asking for that determination sadly. however, the problem has been resolved. Km can be determined by combining equations Kcat = K2K3/(K2+K3) ≈ K3 (if K2>>K3) Km = K3K/(K2+K3)

    How to calculate Km from Kcat and K2/K for alpha-chymotrypsin hydrolysis

    I did a practical and am now trying to do the data analysis of it. the prac was the alpha-chymotrypsin catalyzed hydrolysis of 4-nitrophenyl trimethylacetate. I have values for X, Y and B and the lab manual has asked "Using the approximated, simplified expressions for X (equation 2), Y (equation...
