Effect of viscosity on kcat/KM of peptide bond formation on the ribosome. kcat/KM was measured in the absence [(kcat/KM)°] or presence of increasing trehalose concentrations. η° and η are viscosities of the reaction solutions in the absence and presence of trehalose, respectively. The dashed line (slope = 1) shows the behavior expected if the rate of reaction were limited by binding of the substrate (Pm).
