Michaelis and Menten assumed that the overall reaction for an enzyme-catalyzed reaction could be written as Using this reaction, the rate of breakdown of the enzyme-substrate complex can be described by the expression:

An enzyme-catalyzed reaction was carried out with the substrate concentration initially a thousand times greater than the Km for that substrate. After 9 minutes, 1% of the substrate had been converted to product, and the amount of product formed in the reaction mixture was 12 micromol. If, in a separate experiment, one-third as much enzyme and twice as much substrate had been combined, how long would it take for the same amount (12 micromol) of product to be formed?
