The Michaelis‑Menten equation models the hyperbolic relationship between [S] and the initial reaction rate ?0V0 for an enzyme‑catalyzed, single‑substrate reaction E+S↽−−⇀ES⟶E+PE+S↽−−⇀ES⟶E+P. The model can be more readily understood when comparing three conditions: [S]<<?m[S]<<Km, [S]=?m[S]=Km, and [S]>>?m[S]>>Km. Match each statement with the condition that it describes. Note that "rate" refers to initial velocity ?0V0 where steady state conditions are assumed. [Etotal][Etotal] refers to the total enzyme concentration and [Efree][Efree] refers to the concentration of free enzyme.

Based on the definition of kcat, substitute a value that can be measured and yet still represents the value associated with the original concentration of the R. What would the rate or velocity of the reaction be equal to under these circumstances? How can cells increase Vmax? What variable that we could change would directly impact Vmax? Would the value of KM be affected by the ways you determined that Vma,x could be increased? What does this indicate about KM?
