The rate,r, of many enzyme reactions is related to the substrate concentration, S, by the Hill equation

Question:

The rate,r, of many enzyme reactions is related to the substrate concentration, S, by the Hill equation r =

V Sn Kn + S n

, for some constants n (a positive integer), V and K. What is the horizontal asymptote? Does this horizontal asymptote depend on n? On K?

What are the answers to those questions if n ≥ 2 and r(S) =

V Sn−1 Kn + S n

?
