An enzyme catalysed reaction is commonly represented as E + S ⇌ ES → E + P, where E is enzyme, S is substrate, ES is enzyme–substrate complex, and P is product. The rate constants for forward binding, reverse dissociation, and product formation are k₁, k₋₁, and k₂ respectively. The derivation of the Michaelis–Menten equation begins by considering the rate of product formation, which depends on the concentration of the ES complex. The initial reaction velocity v is given by v = k₂[ES]. Since [ES] is not directly measurable, it must be expressed in terms of measurable quantities such as total enzyme and substrate concentrations. The total enzyme concentration [E₀] is the sum of free
