Reaction velocity as a function of substrate concentration

Reaction velocity as a function of substrate concentration
Previous Image | Next Image
Description: This graph shows the variation of reaction velocity with substrate concentration according to the Michaelis–Menten model of enzyme kinetics.

The values of v plotted here are determined from the initial rates of the reaction.

At the point where = KM the reaction has exactly half its maximum velocity.

Note that Vmax is approached asymptotically.
