   Factors Affecting Enzyme Kinetics
   The rate of enzyme-catalyzed reactions is influenced by several environmental and intrinsic factors:
   Substrate Concentration): At low $[S]$, the rate ($v$) is approximately first-order with respect to $[S]$. As $[S]$ increases, the enzyme becomes saturated, and the rate approaches $V_{max}$, becoming zero-order with respect to $[S]$. This saturation is described by the Michaelis-Menten equation:
