Michaelis–Menten kinetics
Videos
In biochemistry, Michaelis–Menten kinetics, named after Leonor Michaelis and Maud Menten, is the simplest case of enzyme kinetics, applied to enzyme-catalysed reactions involving the transformation of

The reaction changes from approximately first-order in substrate concentration at low concentrations to approximately zeroth order at high concentrations.

In biochemistry, the Lineweaver–Burk plot is a graphical representation of the Michaelis–Menten equation of enzyme kinetics, described by Hans Lineweaver and Dean Burk in 1934.
