Which consequence results when a reaction exceeds Michaelis-Menten constant?

💡 Explanation

When substrate concentration exceeds the Michaelis-Menten constant, enzyme saturation occurs, because the active sites are constantly occupied, and therefore the reaction rate plateaus at Vmax, rather than increasing linearly with substrate concentration.
