Michaelis-menton Model
Michaelis-Menten kinetics

This image shows the Michaelis-Menten equation, which is used to model enzyme-catalyzed reactions. The equation describes the reaction rate as a function of substrate concentration. 
Lineweaver-Burk plot

This image shows a linear plot of Michaelis-Menten kinetics, which is obtained by plotting substrate concentration versus reaction velocity. 
The Michaelis-Menten constant (Km) is the concentration of substrate at which the reaction rate is half of its maximum value (1/2 Vmax). It's an inverse measure of affinity. 
The Michaelis-Menten kinetic scheme, which involves a single substrate and a single product, is obviously the simplest type of enzyme catalysis. Equation (1.7) may hold for many mechanisms, but the mechanisms can be different from each other and the expression of kinetic parameters may also differ.
