Specificity constant
text:
In the field of biochemistry, the specificity constant (also called kinetic efficiency or k c a t / K M ), is a measure of how efficiently an enzyme converts substrates into products. A comparison of specificity constants can also be used as a measure of the preference of an enzyme for different substrates (i.e., substrate specificity). The higher the specificity constant, the more the enzyme "prefers" that substrate. The following equation, known as the Michaelis–Menten model, is used to descri
