All of the following statements about the Michaelis constant are correct EXCEPT which one?
A) For many enzymes, Km approximates the equilibrium constant for the conversion of ES to E and P.
B) A low value for Km is generally associated with a high affinity of an E for an S.
C) Km is calculated from the intersection, in a Lineweaver-Burk plot, of the experimentally determined line with the horizontal axis.
D) Km may be defined as the substrate concentration which gives half-maximal velocity.
E) At a substrate concentration equal to Km, half of the total number of enzyme molecules may be present as an ES complex.
