The value assigned to these rate constants is high (cf. the value assigned to u0, 0.01 s−1) because each of these rate constants characterizes a pseudo first-order reaction in which an enzyme and one of its substrates are colocalized within a protein complex, i.e., confined together within a small reaction volume.
