Answer:

The maximum speed at which substrate is converted to product

Explanation:

Vmax is the maximum value of the initial reaction rate when all active sites are occupied. This point is reached when there is sufficient substrate to completely saturate the active site of the enzyme.

However, it is not proven that it is possible for an enzyme to reach maximum speed in a real reaction due to a <u>short delay</u> during the substrate binding and release process at the active site.
