  "term": "Michaelis-Menten kinetics",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A model describing the rate of enzyme-catalyzed reactions, relating reaction rate to the concentration of a substrate. It assumes the formation of an enzyme-substrate complex as an intermediate step. The model is characterized by two key parameters: the maximum reaction rate (Vmax) and the Michaelis constant (Km).",
