Describe erythrocytes phosphorylate glucose

Reference no: EM13181125

Erythrocytes phosphorylate glucose to glucose 6-phosphate with the help of the enzyme hexokinase instead of glucokinase. Hexokinase has a Km = 0.04 mM. How low would the blood glucose concentration have to fall to decrease the rate of glucose phosphorylation in the erythrocyte to 65% of Vmax? (Assume that the Michaelis-Menten equation is applicable.)
