Curve of the Michaelis–Menten equation labelled in accordance with IUBMB recommendations. In biochemistry, Michaelis–Menten kinetics, named after Leonor Michaelis and Maud Menten, is the simplest case of enzyme kinetics, applied to enzyme-catalysed reactions of one substrate and one product.
Reversible Michaelis–Menten kinetics, using the reversible form of the Michaelis–Menten equation, is therefore important when developing computer models of cellular processes involving enzymes. In enzyme kinetics, the Michaelis–Menten kinetics kinetic rate law that describes the conversion of one substrate to one product, is often ...
For Michaelis–Menten–Monod (MMM) kinetics it is intended the coupling of an enzyme-driven chemical reaction of the Michaelis–Menten type [1] with the Monod growth of an organisms that performs the chemical reaction. [2]
This is produced by taking the reciprocal of both sides of the Michaelis–Menten equation. As shown on the right, this is a linear form of the Michaelis–Menten equation and produces a straight line with the equation y = mx + c with a y-intercept equivalent to 1/V max and an x-intercept of the graph representing −1/K M.
A plot depicting the initial reaction rate versus substrate concentration as modeled by the Michaelis-Menten equation (solid line) and the Haldane equation for substrate inhibition (dotted line). One of the most well known equations to describe single-substrate enzyme kinetics is the Michaelis-Menten equation.
For example, Michaelis-Menten kinetics can be derived assuming equilibrium instead of steady state. Normally the requirements for applying the steady state approximation are laxer: the concentration of the intermediate is only needed to be low and more or less constant (as seen, this has to do only with the rates at which it appears and ...
Eadie–Hofstee plot of v against v/a for Michaelis–Menten kinetics. In biochemistry, an Eadie–Hofstee plot (or Eadie–Hofstee diagram) is a graphical representation of the Michaelis–Menten equation in enzyme kinetics. It has been known by various different names, including Eadie plot, Hofstee plot and Augustinsson plot.
The non-cooperative reversible Michaelis-Menten equation can be seen to emerge when we set the Hill coefficient to one. If the enzyme is irreversible the equation turns into the simple Michaelis-Menten equation that is irreversible.
