Asylums: Essays on the Social Situation of Mental Patients and Other Inmates is a 1961 book by sociologist Erving Goffman.
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.
Vmax (maximum voltage/velocity) 1  Vmax, the maximum voltage attained in the action potential. 2  Vmax, maximum aortic velocity, the maximum speed of blood flow in the aorta of the heart, also less commonly noted as AoVmax. 3  Maximal rate in MichaelisâMenten kinetics.
