About Michaelis-Menten Equation
The Michaelis-Menten equation describes the rate of enzymatic reactions as a function of substrate concentration. It's fundamental to understanding enzyme kinetics.
v = (Vₘₐₓ × [S]) / (Kₘ + [S])
Where:
- v = Initial reaction velocity
- Vₘₐₓ = Maximum velocity
- [S] = Substrate concentration
- Kₘ = Michaelis constant (substrate concentration at half Vₘₐₓ)
Catalytic Efficiency:
kₐₜ/Kₘ
The Michaelis-Menten equation is essential in biochemistry, pharmacology, and biotechnology for understanding enzyme behavior and drug interactions.
