However, as the enzymes become saturated, the reaction rate levels off. When the enzyme concentration is small, V max is much smaller. The reaction rate still increases with increasing substrate concentration, but levels off at a much lower rate. By increasing the enzyme concentration, the maximum reaction rate greatly increases. The rate of a chemical reaction increases as the substrate concentration increases.
Enzymes can greatly speed up the rate of a reaction.
However, enzymes become saturated when the substrate concentration is high. Graph this function and interpret the graph. Die kinetik der invertinwirkung. Segel, L. A. 1984. Modeling dynamic phenomena in molecular and cellular biology.
