Question:

Many enzymes obey simple Michaelis–Menten kinetics, which are summarized by the equation
rate = Vmax [S]/([S] + Km)

where Vmax = maximum velocity, [S] = concentration of substrate, and Km = the Michaelis constant.

It is instructive to plug a few values of [S] into the equation to see how rate is affected. What are the rates for [S] equal to zero, equal to Km, and equal to infinite concentration?
