What is the Michaelis-Menten Kinetics in Enzymatic Catalysis?
In the context of enzymatic catalysis, the Michaelis-Menten equation describes the rate of enzymatic reactions. According to this model, the rate of reaction is dependent on the concentration of the substrate (S) and the maximum rate (Vmax) that the enzyme can achieve. The Michaelis constant (Km) is a measure of the substrate concentration at which the reaction rate is half of Vmax.
