Simulation 1: The Generic Graph

This simulation shows the standard enzyme kinetics graph. Concentrations of product, enzyme, substrate, and enzyme-substrate complex over time are shown. Comparisons between the standard enzyme kinetic graph with and without Michaelis-Menten kinetics are made.

In this simulation, all parameters are arbitrary. K1 = 100000, K2 = 1000 and K3 = 0.1. This makes K_M = 0.01. Furthermore, [E₀] = 0.01 and [S₀] = 0.1. The values of K1, K2 and K3 are proportional to their kinetic values [1], while the values of E₀ and S₀ are chosen to ensure a clear graph.
