Michaelis-Menten Kinetics

Biochemistry

미카엘리스-멘텐 동역학

Definition

A model describing the rate of enzyme-catalyzed reactions as a function of substrate concentration, characterized by the parameters Vmax and Km.

Detailed Explanation

The Michaelis constant Km represents the substrate concentration at which the reaction rate is half of Vmax. This model assumes a steady-state approximation for the enzyme-substrate complex.
