The Michaelis constant is the substrate concentration at which the reaction rate is at half-maximum, and is an inverse measure of the substrate's affinity for the enzyme—as a small indicates high affinity, meaning that the rate will approach more quickly.[5] The value of is dependent on both the enzyme and the substrate, as well as conditions such as temperature and pH.
