With sufficient substrate available, increasing enzyme concentration directly leads to a proportional increase in reaction rate due to a greater number of active sites available for substrate binding.
Increasing enzyme concentration, with excess substrate, proportionally increases the rate of reaction as more active sites are available to bind with substrate molecules.
