General Principles The substrate concentration midway between these two limiting cases is denoted by Km. Thus, Km is the substrate concentration at which the reaction velocity is half of the maximum velocity. The two most important kinetic properties of an enzyme are how easily the enzyme becomes saturated with a particular substrate, and the maximum rate it can achieve.
