Slot: michaelis_constant
the substrate concentration at which the reaction rate is half of its maximum value (Vmax)
URI: chemrof:michaelis_constant Alias: michaelis_constant
Properties
- Range: String
Aliases
- Km
Comments
- A lower Km indicates higher affinity (the enzyme needs less substrate to achieve half its maximum rate
- Km is typically expressed in units of concentration (e.g., mol/L, μM, mM)
