什么是 Initial rate, saturation?

又称: reaction rate

Definition 13.5 University Biology — Year 1 · 第 13 章 — Enzymes and Biochemical Catalysis

The rate vv of an enzyme reaction is the amount of product formed per unit time (mol/s\mathrm{mol}/\mathrm{s}, or units of enzyme: 1 µmol/min1\,\text{µ}\mathrm{mol}/\mathrm{min}). It is measured as the initial rate v0v_0, before the substrate is depleted or the product accumulates. At a fixed enzyme concentration v0v_0 rises with the substrate concentration [S][S] and then saturates at a maximum Vmax⁡V_{\max}: the enzyme is fully occupied and can go no faster.

An enzyme assay: the product absorbs light, and the spectrophotometer records its appearance second by second; the initial slope is v_0.

Catalase and carbonic anhydrase work at the diffusion limit: every collision with substrate is productive. Chymotrypsin is slow but needs to be — it cuts a peptide bond, a far harder job than splitting peroxide.
