Table 3.
Substrate | Km, μM | Vmax, μmol· min−1⋅mg−1 | Vmax/Km |
---|---|---|---|
Xanthine | 4.5 | 2.7 | 0.6 |
Hypoxanthine | 500 | 1.2 | 0.0024 |
Allopurinol | 1000 | 2.0 | 0.0020 |
The approximate Km value was estimated by using a Michaelis–Menten plot and confirmed experimentally after this determination. The Vmax was estimated from a Michaelis–Menten plot.
