Why do enzyme reactions reach a ceiling?
Compare substrate concentration with reaction rate. Change enzyme capacity and substrate affinity.
Initial reaction rate (arbitrary units)
Model & assumptions
v = Vmax[S] / (Km + [S])
Michaelis–Menten extension model for an idealized enzyme under steady-state conditions. Temperature and pH are fixed; cooperativity and inhibitors are omitted.
