β¦ Synopsis
In the light of the scheme presented by Walsh et al. (1978, Meth. Enzymol. 53, 437-448), Waley (1980, Biochem. J. 185, 771-773) and Tatsunami et al. (1981, Biochim. biophys. Acta, 662, 226-235) made a detailed study for the kinetics of suicide substrates. However, the effects of the enzyme reaction intermediate and product were not considered in their studies. Equations for the kinetics of suicide substrate were derived for a more reasonable scheme. A plotting method was proposed to determine the kinetic parameters and it has been shown that suicide substrate can be used to study the formative mechanism of enzyme-catalyzed reaction intermediate.

Suicide substrates are widely used in enzymology for studying enzyme mechanisms and designing potential drugs. The presence of a reversible modifier decreases or increases the rate of substrate-induced inactivation, with evident physiological and experimental consequences. To date, only the action o

The growth of platinum particles supported on flat alumina substrates, at 900-I loo"C, has been studied for particles ranging in size from 35-120nm. While the observed kinetics of growth were found to be inconsistant with classical (LSW) coarsening models, a reasonable interpretation of the results
