Michaelis-Menten Kinetics Calculator

Computes an enzyme's reaction rate at a given substrate concentration from the Michaelis-Menten equation, and plots the saturation curve.

Notes

  • v = Vmax·[S]/(Km + [S]); at [S] = Km the rate is exactly half of Vmax.
  • The curve saturates: past a point, adding more substrate barely raises the rate because the enzyme is nearly maxed out.
