Michaelis-Menten Equation Calculator
Calculate the initial reaction velocity (v0) of an enzyme
Formula: v0 = (Vmax × [S]) / (Km + [S])
Where Vmax is maximum velocity, [S] is substrate concentration, and Km is the Michaelis constant. Ensure Km and [S] are in the same units.
Where Vmax is maximum velocity, [S] is substrate concentration, and Km is the Michaelis constant. Ensure Km and [S] are in the same units.

⚠️ The Michaelis-Menten equation relies on the steady-state approximation. It does not apply to allosteric enzymes (which show sigmoidal kinetics rather than hyperbolic) or systems exhibiting severe substrate/product inhibition.
