Enzyme kinetics is really important for figuring out drug targets. It helps us understand how enzymes work in different situations. Here are the main points to remember:

1. Understanding How Fast Reactions Happen: We look at things like $K_m$ (this tells us how well an enzyme grabs onto a substance) and $V_{max}$ (the highest speed an enzyme can work). These details show us how strong the connection is between enzymes and their substances, as well as how effective inhibitors can be.

2. How Drugs Affect Enzymes: About one in three drugs available today work by interacting with enzymes. They can either compete with the substances or stop the enzymes from working in other ways.

3. How Drugs Move Around in the Body: Kinetic models help us guess how drugs will be taken in, spread throughout the body, changed, and removed. This helps make the drug development process more successful about 15% of the time.

In short, enzyme kinetics helps scientists create better drugs. This means we can make medications that work well and are safer for people to use.
