6. Enzymes and Enzyme Kinetics

Why is the initial velocity (V₀) the best chance a reaction has at approaching its maximum velocity (V_max)?

Calculate the initial reaction rate for A → B, given that [A] _i = 9.6 M, [B] _i = 0 & [A] _f after 0.01 μsec = 9.14 mM.

In the graph below, why does the curve have a steep incline at first that gradually declines to a horizontal line?
