The Km for enzyme Q is 1 × 10-6 M. Q catalyzes the reaction R?S at a velocity of 30 µmole/min when the concentration of substrate is 0.02 M; hence, Vmax is approximately 30 µmole/min

Assuming Michaelis-Menten kinetics is followed, what will the reaction velocity be when [S] is 10-7 M? A. 30 µmole/min B 3.0 × 10-7 µmole/min C. 2.7 µmole/min D. 2.7 × 10-12 µmole/min E. 0.27 µmole/min
