What Assumptions are Made in the Michaelis-Menten Model?
The Michaelis-Menten model makes several key assumptions: 1. The formation of the enzyme-substrate complex is a rapid equilibrium process. 2. The concentration of the enzyme-substrate complex remains constant (steady-state assumption). 3. The concentration of the substrate is much greater than the concentration of the enzyme. 4. The product formation is irreversible during the initial phase of the reaction.
