### Determining Kinetic Parameters of an Enzyme-catalyzed Reaction

This exercise involves estimating the kinetic parameters \( K_M \) and \( V_{max} \) from a given enzyme-catalyzed reaction plot. The values should be estimated using one significant figure.

#### Graph Analysis
The graph provided plots the initial reaction velocity (\( v_0 \)) against substrate concentration (\( [S] \)):

- The Y-axis represents the initial reaction velocity (\( v_0 \)) measured in \(\mu M \cdot s^{-1}\).
- The X-axis represents the substrate concentration (\([S]\)) in \(\mu M\).
- The curve shows how the initial velocity (\( v_0 \)) changes with increasing substrate concentration (\([S]\)).

#### Data Points
- At low substrate concentrations, the initial velocity (\( v_0 \)) increases sharply with the increase in \([S]\).
- At higher substrate concentrations, the curve plateaus, indicating that the reaction is approaching its maximum velocity (\( V_{max} \)).

#### Estimations
Use the provided graph to estimate \( V_{max} \) and \( K_M \):

- \( V_{max} \) is the maximum velocity the reaction approaches at high substrate concentrations.
- \( K_M \) is the substrate concentration at which the reaction velocity is half of \( V_{max} \).

#### Inputs
- \( V_{max} \) is approximately: [     ] \(\mu M \cdot s^{-1}\)
- \( K_M \) is approximately: [     ] \(\mu M\)
