It is essential that this reaction typically goes in both directions, X to Y and Y to X, so the directions of the arrows in the graph are just used for our convenience to pick out substrates and ...

"As a graduate student at Shinshu University, I failed to produce the typical enzymatic reaction dynamics graph we know from the textbooks using the commonly used test substrate. I even reached ...

changing chemical bonds in the substrate to form the product. The rate of reaction, also called the reaction velocity, is a way of measuring the rate at which the enzyme produces a product.
