Michaelis - Menten Equation is written as;

"v=\\frac{d[P]}{dt}=V_{max} \\frac{[S]}{K_M+[S]}"

v is the reaction rate and shows how fast the reaction is taking place.

S is the concentration of a substrate e.g glucose.

"V_{max}" is the highest rate achieved during the reaction.

"K_M" is the Michaelis Constant.
