[[Image:enolase kinetics.jpeg|left| | [[Image:enolase kinetics.jpeg|left|200px|V vs. [PGA]; PGA is 2PG, the top curve has [Mg2+] of 10^-3 M and the bottom curve has [Mg2+] of 106-2 M]]<ref>{{journal2}}</ref> | ||
Since Mg2+ is essential for binding the substrate, 2-PG, it is also needed at a specific quality in order to have a good rate, or velocity. The graph shows the V vs. [PGA], in which PGA is 2-PG, with two different concentrations of Mg2+. The upper curve, which also has greater Vmax, has an Mg2+ concentration of 10^-3 M while the lower curve, which has a lower Vmax, has an Mg2+ concentration of 10^-2 M<ref>{{journal2}}</ref>. The Km is also larger the upper curve making the higher [Mg2+] more desirable. | Since Mg2+ is essential for binding the substrate, 2-PG, it is also needed at a specific quality in order to have a good rate, or velocity.
