Abstract

The rate of an enzymatic reaction is measured as the amount of product, P, formed as a function of time or, alternatively, as the decrease of the amount of substrate, S. The rate of reaction is usually determined under experimental conditions in which the amount of S or P is directly proportional to time. These conditions are met only at the beginning of the reaction, when the concentration of P is small compared with the concentration of S, that is, the initial velocity.
