The Michaelis-Menten equation is fundamental in enzyme kinetics and describes the rate of enzymatic reactions. It is derived based on the following assumptions:

1. Enzyme-Substrate Complex Formation: Enzymes (E) bind to substrates (S) to form an enzyme-substrate complex (ES), which then converts to product (P) and releases the enzyme.
2. Steady-State Assumption: The concentration of the ES complex remains constant during the reaction, meaning the formation and breakdown of ES are at equilibrium.

The derivation begins with the following steps:
