Enzyme Kinetics

Michaelis-Menten kinetics and related enzyme activity formulas.

Michaelis-Menten Equation

v = reaction rate, V_max = max rate, [S] = substrate concentration, K_m = Michaelis constant.

v = \frac{V_{max} \cdot [S]}{K_m + [S]}

Lineweaver-Burk Plot (Double Reciprocal)

Linearised form of Michaelis-Menten. y = mx + b with 1/v vs 1/[S].

\frac{1}{v} = \frac{K_m}{V_{max}} \cdot \frac{1}{[S]} + \frac{1}{V_{max}}
