The Michaelis-Menten equation is used to work out the rate of enzyme reactions and is written as follows:

                                                     V = Vmax [S]

                                                           Km + [S]

Vmax is the maximum rate of an enzyme reaction, occurs when all substrate is saturated.

Km is the Michaelis-Menten constant and is the substrate concentration at half Vmax.
