Can michaelis menton equation determine IC50
« on: January 22, 2021, 04:31:24 PM »
If I plot the % reduced (from uninhibited reaction) enzyme reaction rate vs inhibitor concentration, is the "Km" the IC50 for that specific enzyme concentration?

I am a little puzzled by your reference to the enzyme concentration.  Can you explain?

It is my understanding that IC50 is based on enzyme concentration.

There is a 1973 paper by Cheng and Prusoff that discusses the meanings of IC50.  With respect to the Michaelis-Menten equation, KM does not depend on enzyme concentration.  Just glancing at the paper, IC50 values do depend on substrate concentration.
