Question

How does the initial reaction velocity (v0) differ from the maximum reaction velocity (vmax) in enzyme kinetics?

Accepted Answer

v0 is the velocity at the start of the reaction, vmax is the highest possible velocity

Answer

v0 is the highest possible velocity, vmax is the velocity at the start of the reaction

Answer

v0 is the velocity at substrate saturation, vmax is the velocity at low substrate concentration

Answer

v0 and vmax are the same under all conditions
