VmaxCKmC
Vmax/KmC is a concept in enzyme kinetics that combines two fundamental parameters—maximum reaction velocity (Vmax) and the Michaelis constant (Km)—to provide insight into enzyme efficiency and substrate affinity. These parameters are derived from the Michaelis-Menten equation, which describes the rate of enzymatic reactions under varying substrate concentrations.
Vmax represents the highest rate at which an enzyme can catalyze a reaction when saturated with substrate.
The ratio Vmax/KmC (where C is the substrate concentration) is often used to assess catalytic efficiency under
Vmax/KmC is particularly relevant in biochemistry and enzymology for evaluating enzyme performance in real-world scenarios, such
