In enzyme kinetics, Vmax is the maximum velocity or rate at which the enzyme catalyzed a reaction. It happens when all enzyme active sites are saturated with substrate. Since the maximum velocity is described to be directly proportional to enzyme concentration, it can therefore be used to estimate enzyme concentration. ![]()
