In basic enzyme kinetics, a large Km indicates that the substrate binds A. Covalently B. Transiently C. with low specificity D. Weakly E. Permanently

Solution

Answer : The correct answer is C (Low specificity)

Explanation : K_m or the michelis menton constant is defined as the substrate concentration to produce half maximum velocity in an enzyme catalysed reaction. K_m is constant and a charectorstic a given enzyme. A low Km value indicates a a strong affinity between enzyme and substrate wheras a high Km value reflects a weak affinity between them.
