The Circe effect is the large increase in this quantity due to electrostatic attractions.
The Circe effect is the large increase in this quantity due to electrostatic attractions. This quantity represents the x-axis of an Eadie-Hofstee plot. It can be estimated at first pass as k-cat divided by K-sub-m. One over this quantity is plotted on the y-axis of a Lineweaver-Burke plot. This quantity is limited by the rate of diffusion in carbonic anhydrase, which has an extremely high turnover number. This quantity's concentration at its half-maximum is called the Michaelis constant. For 10 points, name this quantity given by the Michaelis-Menten equation, the speed at which an enzyme converts substrate into product.
