How is Saturation Related to the Michaelis-Menten Kinetics?
The concept of saturation is well-explained by the Michaelis-Menten kinetics in enzyme catalysis. According to this model, the reaction rate increases with an increase in substrate concentration but eventually levels off when the enzyme becomes saturated with substrate. The point at which this happens is characterized by the Michaelis constant (Km) and the maximum rate (Vmax).
