A comparison has been made of the meaning of the experimental kinetic constants V m , K M and V m /K M with respect to group transfer by a hydrolase proceeding either with or without obligatory intermediary transfer of the group to the enzyme. The results have been applied to the interpretation of kinetic data in a number of actual cases involving esterases whereby either several substrates have one of these experimental constants in common or the addition of a modifier has no effect on one of these constants with respect to a particular substrate.
