The statement of the theorem

Consider the reaction E+S⇌ES→E+PE + S \rightleftharpoons ES \rightarrow E + P. The initial rate vv is defined by the rate law:\nv=kcat[E]0[S]KM+[S]v = \frac{k_{cat} [E]_0 [S]}{K_M + [S]} \nwhere [E]0[E]_0 is the total enzyme concentration, kcatk_{cat} is the turnover number, and KMK_M is the apparent dissociation constant.
