Many biochemical reactions have close to zero rates
How do enzymes work?
in the absence of biological enzymes; enzymes speed
up those reactions thousands and even millions of
times.
Michaelis-Mentin-Henri The simplest mechanism for representing enzyme
Kinetics (MM kinetics) kinetics in the chemical kinetics framework.
Assumes that since typically the enzyme is present in
The Quasi-Static small quantities compared to the substrate on which it
Approximation acts, the enzyme-substrate complex E S is in

States that the rate of an elementary chemical
reaction is proportional to the product of the
Law of Mass Action (LMA)
concentrations of the reactants raised to the power of
their stoichiometries
