So this is approximately equal to v max multiplied by the substrate concentration divided by Km. Now instead of having the Km underneath this term, let's bring it underneath the V max term. And this is the equation that we have. And so this equation is the equation that describes activity the rate of that enzyme at the beginning of that chemical reaction. And notice what this equation actually looks like. So based on the curve here, we see that at the beginning of the reaction, the curve.
