Vmax is equal to the product of the catalyst rate constant (kcat) and the concentration of the enzyme. The Michaelis-Menten equation can then be rewritten as V= Kcat [Enzyme] [S] / (Km + [S]). Kcat is equal to K2, and it measures the number of substrate molecules turned over by enzyme per second.
The units of the universal gas constant R is derived from equation PV=nRT. It stands for Regnault. then R is in Lâatm/molâK. R has the value 0.082057 Lâatm/molâK with the above units for the remaining variables. In other scenarios with pressures of bars instead, you may also use 0.083145 Lâbar/molâK.
