โฆ Synopsis
Kinetic data from enzyme-catalyzed reactions have been analyzed traditionally in terms of the Michaelis-Menten equation, which assumes that the maximal velocity (I') and the Michaelis constant (K) are the primary kinetic constants. But what is needed from most kinetic studies today is VJK. A new form of the equation is proposed which assumes that V and VJK are the primary kinetic constants: u = ( V. S -V/K)/( V + Se V/K). Computer fittings of both experimental and simulated velocity data to both equations give results favoring the new equation.
