What is the Enzyme Activity Calculator & How does it work?
Enzyme activity is a measure of the rate at which an enzyme catalyzes a biochemical reaction. It is typically expressed in units such as U/L (units per liter) or katal. The Michaelis-Menten equation describes the relationship between substrate concentration and reaction rate, given by:To calculate enzyme activity, you need to measure the initial velocity of the reaction (v) at a specific substrate concentration ([S]). The enzyme activity can then be determined using these parameters.
v = \frac{V_{\text{max}} [S]}{K_m + [S]}
v = reaction rate
Vmax = maximum reaction rate
[S] = substrate concentration
Km = Michaelis constant
Vmax = maximum reaction rate
[S] = substrate concentration
Km = Michaelis constant
