Biochemistry

Enzymes are biological catalysts that accelerate chemical reactions without being consumed. They bind to specific substrates and catalyze the conversion of substrates to products. Enzyme kinetics can be described using rate laws and Michaelis-Menten models. The Michaelis-Menten model is based on the assumption that the enzyme-substrate complex reaches equilibrium rapidly compared to the conversion of the complex to product. This model describes reaction velocity as a function of substrate concentration and can be used to determine values like the Michaelis constant and maximum reaction velocity.
