How does the substrate concentration affect the speed of enzymatic reactions?



Initially as substrate concentration increases, the speed of the reaction increases; this happens because free activation centers of the enzyme bind to free substrates. Once all activation centers of the available enzymes become bound to their substrates new increments of the substrate concentration will have no effect on the speed of the reaction.
