Enzyme kinetics is the study of chemical reactions catalyzed by enzymes. The reaction rate is measured under varying conditions to investigate the catalytic mechanism of the enzyme. The Michaelis-Menten model describes enzyme kinetics as a two-step process where the substrate forms a reversible enzyme-substrate complex that then decomposes into products. This model derives the Michaelis-Menten equation which relates reaction rate to substrate concentration and defines kinetic parameters like the Michaelis constant Km and maximum reaction rate Vmax.
