    Enzyme Kinetics

    • The formula for an enzyme-catalyzed reaction is E + S ⇌ [E-S] → E + P.

    Michaelis-Menten Kinetics

    • Vmax represents the theoretical maximal rate of the reaction.
    • Vmax is obtained when the enzyme is saturated with the substrate.
    • The Michaelis constant (Km) measures the substrate concentration at which the reaction rate is half of Vmax.
    • A small Km value indicates a high substrate affinity for the enzyme.
    • On a Vo vs [S] plot, Vmax represents the maximum rate of the reaction.

    Enzyme Types

    • Allosteric enzymes display cooperative substrate binding, which is evident as a sigmoidal reaction velocity curve.
    • Allosteric enzymes have multiple binding sites, including an active site for substrate binding and an allosteric site for inhibitor or activator binding.
    • Allosteric enzymes do not obey Michaelis-Menten kinetics.

    Sequential Reactions

    • Sequential ordered reactions are characterized by the formation of a ternary ES complex consisting of the enzyme and both substrates.
