Table 3.

Paclitaxel kinetic elimination Michaelis-Menten parameters (converted* from Vaclavikova et al., their Table4)

Parameter Characteristic (SI) unit STARS unit
Maximum rate vmax
0.06 μM/min
1.08 × 10-9 molefrac/min
Half saturation constant Km
10.0 μM
1.8 × 10-7molfrac
Linear rate vmax/Km 6.0 × 10-3 min-1 6.0 × 10-3 min-1

*Their Table 4 quotes vmax = 61 picomol/mg_protein/min. Using their microsomal protein concentration of 1 mg/ml, these numbers convert to vmax = 0.06 μM/min.
