In the present paper, we give the applications of the optimum bound for Bernstein basis functions. It is noted that using the optimum bound the main results of Aniol and Taberska [Ann. Soc. Math. Pol. Seri, Commentat. Math., 30(1990), 9-17], [Approx. Theory and its Appl. 11:2(1995), 94-105] and V. Gupta [Soochow J. Math., 23(1)(1997) 115-118] can be improved which were not pointed out earlier.

Keywords: Durrmeyer operators, Bernstein polynomials, rate of convergence, Bernstein basis function
