The observation that a given enzyme retains its kinetic properties in different species adapted to different temperature regimes is a phenomenon known as

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Conservation of Km refers to the phenomenon where the Michaelis constant (Km) of an enzyme, which is a measure of its affinity for its substrate, remains constant across different species regardless of their adaptation to different temperature regimes. This reflects the enzyme's kinetic properties being conserved across species.
