This is a reaction going on in your muscle cells right this very minute: the enzyme triose phosphate isomerase catalyzes this reaction in the forward direction as part of the glycolyticpathway. it follows simple michaelis-menten kinetics: typical cellular concentrations: triose phosphate isomerase = 0.1 nmdihydroxyacetone phosphate = 5 μm glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate = 2 μm48. refer to exhibit a. what is the actual velocity of the forward reaction under physiologic conditions if km = 10 μm?

Explanation:

The given reaction is as follows.

Here, [E] = triose phosphate isomerase = 0.1

         [S] = Dihydroxy acetone phosphate = 5

         [P] = Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate = 2

Therefore, velocity of the reaction will be as follows.

          v = =

where, = Michaelic menten constant =

            v =

               =

or,            = 30 nm/s

Hence, we can conclude that the actual velocity of the forward reaction under physiologic conditions if KM = 10 μM is 30 nm/s.

it is stable as it is in group 0 which have full outer shells of electrons
