Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When every enzyme molecule in the reaction mixture has its substrate-binding site occupied by substrate, the reaction exhibits zero-order kinetics because the rate of reaction becomes independent of substrate concentration. The velocity of the reaction is at its maximum (Vmax).
