constant

In mathematics, a fixed quantity or one that does not change its value in relation to variables. For example, in the algebraic expression y2 = 5x − 3, the numbers 3 and 5 are constants. In physics, certain quantities are regarded as universal constants, such as the speed of light in a vacuum.

In summary, this method is based on the experimental finding that the apparent Michaelis constant values depend on the concentration of the second substrate.
Single-subunit allostery in the kinetics of peptide phosphorylation ... by Kuznetsov, Aleksei; Jarv, Jaak / Proceedings of the Estonian Academy of Sciences

The characterization of three digestive enzymes from the crayfish ... by Hammer, Hugh S.; Bishop, Charles D.; Watts, Stephen A. / Journal of the Alabama Academy of Science
This paper presents an undergraduate laboratory exercise that allows for the experimental determination of the typical enzyme-kinetics parameters [the Michaelis constant (KM), the maximum rate of the enzyme-catalyzed reaction (Vmax), the turnover number (kcat), and the catalytic efficiency of the enzyme system at low substrate concentrations (kcat/KM)] using a standard benchtop multi-cell UV-vis spectrophotometer.
