Insert the information in the form and the calculator will determine the Michaelis-Menten equation.

What is the Michaelis-Menten equation?

Michaelis-Menten equation is one of the best known models of enzyme kinetics and it is named after the biochemist Lenor Micaelis and the physician Maud Menten.

How to calculate Michaelis-Menten equation?

To calculate Michaelis-Menten equation you should use the following formula:
v = (Vmax [s]) / (KM + [s])
where:
v = velocity of reaction
Vmax = maximum rate achieved by the system
[s] = consentration of a substrates
KM = michaelis constant

Why use Michaelis-Menten equation?

Michaelis-Menten equation is used in order to characterize the enzymatic rate at different substrate concentrations. It is also used to characterize the elimination of chemical compounds from the body.
