Enzyme Based Equations
Michaelis Menten
Michaelis Menten kinetics is a commonly used approximation for describing the rate at which enzyme reactions occur. The model most commonly takes the following for describing the velocity of a reaction:
\[\begin{equation*}
v = \frac{d[P]}{dt} = V_{max}\frac{[S]}{K_M+[S]} =
(k_{cat}*[E])\frac{[S]}{K_M+[S]}
\end{equation*}\]
where,
- \(V_{max}\):
Maximum Velocity
- E:
Enzyme Concentration
- S:
Substrate Concentration
- P:
Product Concentration
- \(K_M\):
Michaelis Menten Constant
- \(k_{cat}\):
Catalytic Rate of Enzyme Reaction
