Chemistry · L5 · Michaelis-Menten Velocity vs Substrate Concentration

Reaction velocity v plotted against substrate concentration [S] for v = Vmax[S]/(Km+[S]) — a rectangular hyperbola that climbs steeply at low [S] then bends over and flattens toward Vmax as the enzyme's active sites saturate. Drag Vmax and Km to reshape the curve; the dot traces it as [S] rises.
