single
The longest amnesia is produced by lorazepam although half life of lorazepam (15 hours) is shoer than diazepam (36 hours) and this is probably because of its strong receptor binding potential. Its relatively potent amnesic effect, with its anxiolytic and sedative effects, makes lorazepam useful as premedication.

Substrate Concentration, A small Km indicates that the enzyme requires only a small amount of substrate to become saturated. Hence, the maximum velocity is reached at relatively low substrate concentrations. A large Km indicates the need for high substrate concentrations to achieve maximum reaction velocity.
