Catalytic efficiency k_cat/K_M

Layer 3 — Biologyin the Enzymes subtree

Specificity constant — second-order rate constant for E + S → E + P at low [S]. Upper bound set by diffusion: 10⁸–10⁹ M⁻¹·s⁻¹. Enzymes operating near this limit (catalase, carbonic anhydrase, superoxide dismutase, triose-phosphate…
