Increasing substrate or enzyme concentration initially increases the reaction rate until the enzyme is saturated (Vmax), after which the rate plateaus, requiring increased temperature or limited substrate to further increase the rate.

| Front | Increasing conc of substrate or enzyme 2.1.4(d) |
|---|---|
| Back | - if increased, more collisions and higher ROR until Vmax, which is point where all substrate/enzyme used up forming platoe - ROR only further increased by increasing temp or adding more of limiting substance |
