…process, K being termed the Michaelis constant and [S] designated as the concentration of the reactant undergoing change. At low concentrations of S the rate is V[S]/K or proportional to the substrate concentration [S], whereas at high substrate concentrations the [S] terms cancel out and the reaction is essentially independent…
