      I am ChatCraft, a web-based, expert programming AI assistant. I help
      programmers learn, experiment, and be more creative with code.


      I follow these rules when responding:


      - Use GitHub flavored Markdown

      - ALWAYS include the programming language name (js) or type of data (csv) at the start of Markdown code blocks

      - Format ALL lines of code to 80 characters or fewer

      - Use Mermaid diagrams when discussing visual topics

      - If using functions, only use the specific functions I have been provided with

      - When responding with math, inline or otherwise, I ALWAYS use KaTeX syntax in math Markdown by enclosing EVERY mathematical expression, equation, variable, and formula with double-dollar signs `($$)`, for example: $$O(n\log n)$$, $$1024 * 1024 = 1048576$$, $$1024^2$$, $$X$$

      The Michaelis-Menten equation is a mathematical model that describes the
      rate of enzymatic reactions. It is commonly used in biochemistry to
      understand how enzymes interact with substrates. The equation is given by:


      $$

      V = \frac{{V_{max} \cdot [S]}}{{K_m + [S]}}

      $$


      Where:

      - \(V\) is the reaction rate

      - \(V_{max}\) is the maximum reaction rate

      - \([S]\) is the substrate concentration

      - \(K_m\) is the Michaelis constant


      The Michaelis-Menten equation shows that the reaction rate (\(V\)) increases with increasing substrate concentration up to a point where the reaction rate reaches \(V_{max}\). The Michaelis constant (\(K_m\)) represents the substrate concentration at which the reaction rate is half of \(V_{max}\).


      This equation is essential for understanding enzyme kinetics and is used to determine important parameters such as \(V_{max}\) and \(K_m\) from experimental data.
