Hexokinase has a Km of approximately 0.15 mmol/L?

What does the Km mean and the m is in greek?

Thank you

Answer:
Hexokinase is an enzyme. The Km of an enzyme is the Michaelis constant (in the Michaelis-Menton equation).

In practical terms, the Michaelis constant is the substrate concentration when the activity of the enzyme is at half its maximum value.
