The Michaelis-Menten equation is used to describe the dynamics of an enzymatic reaction, in which an enzyme interacts with a substrate to generate some product before the enzyme is released. Cells are ...

The Michaelis-Menten model is one of the best-known models of enzyme kinetics. It is defined by an equation that relates the reaction rate, ν (i.e. the rate of the formation of [P]), to the ...

To describe metabolic processes facilitated by enzymes, scientists refer to what is known as the Michaelis-Menten equation. The equation describes the rate of an enzymatic reaction depending on ...

Researchers from Aarhus University challenge one of the cornerstones of biochemistry, the Michaelis-Menten equation. They show that many enzymes in signalling pathways are independent of substrate ...

The seminal 1913 discovery of Leonor Michaelis and Maud Menten 1 arguably represents the beginning of enzyme kinetics as a systematic field and remains a pillar of enzymology. Thousands of enzymes ...

Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume. Robyn Williams: How does maths really underpin the science that affects you? Here's Dr John Carmody ...

The Michaelis-Menten model 2 is one of the best-known models of enzyme kinetics. This model is defined by the Michaelis-Menten equation, which relates the reaction rate ν (or the rate of the formation ...

A central factor in this equation is the ‘Michaelis constant’, which characterises the enzyme’s affinity for its substrate. It takes a great deal of time and effort to measure this constant ...
