Summary Introduction
To determine: The reaction which would possess higher velocity among the two reactions catalyzed by enzyme A and enzyme B respectively.
Introduction: Vmax is the maximum value of velocity which is attained by the enzyme and after this value, the enzyme activity decreases.Km.is the maximum value of substrate concentration corresponding to the half of the value of Vmax
