Step-by-step with your numbers:
1. Values used:
2. Vmax = 100
3. Km = 5
4. Substrate [S] = 10
5.
6. Reaction velocity (v) = 66.667
7. Percent of Vmax = 66.667%
Did we solve your problem today?

The Michaelis-Menten equation models enzyme kinetics.

The math behind it

v = Vmax × [S] ÷ (Km + [S]). At [S] = Km, the rate is half of Vmax.

Worked example

Vmax 100, Km 5, [S] 10 → v 66.7.
