Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

An expression that relates the ratio of the utilization of A and B, VA/VB to the concentrations of the substrates and theirs kcat and KM values is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The Michaelis-Menten equation relates the concentration of substrate with the velocity of reaction. A constant which expresses the substrate’s concentration if the velocity of a reaction equals half of the maximum velocity of the reaction is known as Michaelis-Menten constant. It is denoted by KM.

Crohn’s disease. Omega-3 fatty acids have been tested asa means to prevent relapse of Crohn’s disease. Two large,randomized, placebo-controlled studies have shown nosuch benefit from omega-3 fatty acids. Suppose you areasked to design an experiment to further study this claim.Imagine that you have collected data on Crohn’s relapsesin subjects who have used these omega-3 fatty acids and similar subjects who have not used them and that you canmeasure incidences of relapse for these subjects. Statethe null and alternative hypotheses you would use in yourstudy.
