Consider an enzymatic reaction that follows Michaelis-Menten kinetics. Let KM. S, and Vmax denote the Michaelis constant, substrate concentration, and maximum reaction rate, respectively. Which of the following statements is/are TRUE?
A
For S << KM the reaction is apparent first-order in S.
B
For S >> KM the reaction rate is nearly independent of S.
C
For S=KM the rate of reaction equals Vmax.
D
KM is independent of the total enzyme concentration.
