on can not plug in blindly whatever eqution seems convenient.
under certain conditions using this equation is ok to describe the
rate of _the enzyme reaction_. But in general it describes only the rate
of _the first step_. If close to equilibrium one needs more than that.
if you want to prove anything solve the complete set of equations with
no arbitrary oversimplifications. otherwise give yourself a break.
