When considering enzyme kinetics, there are some cases when as the substrate concentration increases, the initial rate of the enzymatic reaction passes through a maximum and then decreases. This type of relationship can often be described by the formation of an SES complex that has no enzymatic activity. The following reactions demonstrate this dependence in a given system:

`\( E + S \leftrightharpoons ES \)`  with equilibrium constant `K_(s)` 

`\( ES + S \leftrightharpoons  SES \)`  with equilibrium constant `J_(s)` 

`ES→E+P`  with rate constant `k` 

Also make the following assumptions:

a) \[`\( S]_0 >> [E]_0 \)`, where `\( [E]_0  \)` and `\( [S]_0  \)` represent the initial concentration of enzymatic sites and substrates respectively, when no enzymatic sites are occupied by substrates.

b) all equilibria have been established

c) initial conditions are considered, `\( [S] = [S]_0  \)` 

Given that the system follows the general form of the michaelis-menten equation which states that `\( v_0 = \frac{k_{cat}[E]_0[S]}{K_M + [S]}  \)` , where `\( v_o \)` represents the initial rate of the enzymatic reaction, determine the corresponding `\( K_M  \)` for the system described, in terms of `\( [S] \)`  and given constants.

Think step by step and solve the problem below. At the end of your response, write your final answer on a new line starting with “FINAL ANSWER”. It should be an answer to the question such as providing a number, mathematical expression, formula, or entity name, without any extra commentary or providing multiple answer attempts.
