please somebody tell me about KM,VMAX AND SUBSTRATE LINLED in simple words.shaking head

  #2

Km is the Substrate constant at Vmax.

Vmax is the Velocity with which the Enzyme catalzyes the reaction and Km is substrate Concerntration at that particular Vmax of the Enzyme.

Cudnt understand the last word of the Question "Linled" ??
