✦ Synopsis
A global kinetic analysis is presented of a model of an enzyme autocatalytic process, to which a reaction is coupled, in which the enzyme acts upon one of its substrates. The kinetic equations of both the transient phase and the steady state are derived for this mechanism. In addition, we determine the corresponding kinetic equations for several particular cases which are characterized by certain relations between the rate constants. Finally, a kinetic data analysis is proposed for one of these particular cases. It can easily be extended to any of the other cases.
