Michaelis–Menten Kinetics

This interactive simulator explores Michaelis–Menten Kinetics in Chemistry. v vs [S] saturation and Lineweaver–Burk line from slope Km/Vmax and intercept 1/Vmax. Use the controls to change the scenario; watch the visualization and any graphs or readouts to connect the model with lectures, labs, and homework.

Who it's for: For learners comfortable with heavier math or second-level detail. Typical context: Chemistry.

Measured values

Km (model)2.00
Vmax (model)10.0
v at [S]=Km5.000

How it works

Saturation kinetics: v = Vmax[S]/(Km + [S]). The Lineweaver–Burk plot (1/v vs 1/[S]) linearizes the curve so that slope = Km/Vmax and the y-intercept is 1/Vmax.

Key equations

Equilibrium E + S ⇌ ES → E + P gives the same form when steady-state applies to ES.
