Enzyme kinetics is the study of the rates at which enzyme-catalyzed reactions occur. It focuses on how different conditions affect the speed of enzymatic reactions, particularly substrate concentration, enzyme concentration, temperature, and pH. A key concept is the Michaelis-Menten equation, which relates reaction rate to substrate concentration using two constants: Vmax (maximum rate) and Km (Michaelis constant, indicating substrate affinity). Enzyme inhibitors—competitive, noncompetitive, and uncompetitive—affect enzyme activity by altering substrate binding or enzyme function. Enzyme kinetics is crucial for understanding metabolism, drug action, and enzyme regulation.
