Question

Why is initial reaction velocity preferred for comparing enzyme-catalyzed reaction rates across different experiments?

Accepted Answer

It allows for comparison without the influence of reverse reactions.

Answer

It is unaffected by changes in enzyme concentration.

Answer

It provides the highest possible reaction rate.

Answer

It is easier to measure than reaction rates at later times.
