Terminology generally agreed for use in relation to enzymes. The Commission on Enzymes of the International Union of Biochemistry have recommended various conventions for use in enzyme kinetics. The symbols v, V, Km, KS and Ki are used for observed reaction velocity, maximum reaction velocity (with enzyme saturated with substrate), Michaelis constant, substrate constant and inhibitor constant, respectively. 1, record 1, English, - enzyme%20commission%20nomenclature

Nomenclature [...] normalisée par la Commission sur les Enzymes de l'Union internationale de Biochimie créée en 1955, afin de remédier à la confusion qui régnait alors dans ce domaine et risquait de s'aggraver avec les progrès rapides des connaissances sur les enzymes. 2, record 1, French, - nomenclature%20des%20enzymes

La Commission internationale, ayant pris acte que la propriété particulière qui caractérise l'enzyme est la capacité de catalyser une réaction chimique déterminée, a établi que cette réaction et le nom chimique du substrat constituaient les bases de la nomenclature des enzymes. Pour cela, on prend en considération l'équation formelle, faisant abstraction du mécanisme intime de la réaction elle-même et des complexes intermédiaires. 3, record 1, French, - nomenclature%20des%20enzymes
