Michaelis- Menten enzyme kinetics rate equation

Microbial Biotransformation. Microbial population growth and substrate utilization can be described via Monod s (35) analogy with Michaelis-Menten enzyme kinetics (36). The growth of a microbial population in an unlimiting environment is described by dN/dt = u N, where u is called the "specific growth rate and N is microbial biomass or population size. The Monod equation modifies this by recognizing that consumption of resources in a finite environment must at some point curtail the rate of increase (dN/dt) of the population ...

Let us consider the determination of two parameters, the maximum reaction rate (rITOIX) and the saturation constant (Km) in an enzyme-catalyzed reaction following Michaelis-Menten kinetics. The Michaelis-Menten kinetic rate equation relates the reaction rate (r) to the substrate concentrations (S) by... 

The experimental and mathematical models were divided into two hierarchical steps, as seen in Fig. 5. First, hydrolysis experiments were conducted, and the hydrolysis time profile was matched to hydrolysis rate equations. A separate hydrolysis-only model was used to match the hydrolysis data to Michaelis-Menten based kinetics and to solve for unknown parameters. Second, SSF experiments were conducted using identical enzyme loading, and these datasets were matched to a complete SSF model. The SSF model incorporated the hydrolysis parameters from the first step and was used to solve for the unknown fermentation parameters using Monod-based kinetics. 

You need one more thing When the concentration of substrate is so high that almost no free enzyme is left in the solution, that is, when [ ]tot [R S], the initial rate, Vq = k2X[ S], reaches the maximum reaction rate, Vroax- This will give you the enzyme kinetics equation known as the Michaelis-Menten or the MM equation ... 

Most enzymes catalyse reactions and follow Michaelis-Menten kinetics. The rate can be described on the basis of the concentration of the substrate and the enzymes. For a single enzyme and single substrate, the rate equation is ... 

The above rate equation is in agreement with that reported by Madhav and Ching [3]. Tliis rapid equilibrium treatment is a simple approach that allows the transformations of all complexes in terms of [E, [5], Kls and Kjp, which only deal with equilibrium expressions for the binding of the substrate to the enzyme. In the absence of inhibition, the enzyme kinetics are reduced to the simplest Michaelis-Menten model, as shown in Figure 5.21. The rate equation for the Michaelis-Menten model is given in ordinary textbooks and is as follows 11... 

The reaction rate for this enzyme kinetics example is expressed by the Michaelis-Menten equation and with product inhibition. 

This equation is fundamental to all aspects of the kinetics of enzyme action. The Michaelis-Menten constant, KM, is defined as the concentration of the substrate at which a given enzyme yields one-half of its maximum velocity. is the maximum velocity, which is the rate approached at infinitely high substrate concentration. The Michaelis-Menten equation is the rate equation for a one-substrate enzyme-catalyzed reaction. It provides the quantitative calculation of enzyme characteristics and the analysis for a specific substrate under defined conditions of pH and temperature. KM is a direct measure of the strength of the binding between the enzyme and the substrate. For example, chymotrypsin has a Ku value of 108 mM when glycyltyrosinylglycine is used as its substrate, while the Km value is 2.5 mM when N-20 benzoyltyrosineamide is used as a substrate... 

The kinetics of the general enzyme-catalyzed reaction (equation 10.1-1) may be simple or complex, depending upon the enzyme and substrate concentrations, the presence/absence of inhibitors and/or cofactors, and upon temperature, shear, ionic strength, and pH. The simplest form of the rate law for enzyme reactions was proposed by Henri (1902), and a mechanism was proposed by Michaelis and Menten (1913), which was later extended by Briggs and Haldane (1925). The mechanism is usually referred to as the Michaelis-Menten mechanism or model. It is a two-step mechanism, the first step being a rapid, reversible formation of an enzyme-substrate complex, ES, followed by a slow, rate-determining decomposition step to form the product and reproduce the enzyme ... 

Aiming at a computer-based description of cellular metabolism, we briefly summarize some characteristic rate equations associated with competitive and allosteric regulation. Starting with irreversible Michaelis Menten kinetics, the most common types of feedback inhibition are depicted in Fig. 9. Allowing all possible associations between the enzyme and the inhibitor shown in Fig. 9, the total enzyme concentration Er can be expressed as... 

The necessity of developing approximate kinetics is unclear. It is sometimes argued that uncertainties in precise enzyme mechanisms and kinetic parameters requires the use of approximate schemes. However, while kinetic parameters are indeed often unknown, the typical functional form of generic rate equations, namely a hyperbolic Michaelis Menten-type function, is widely accepted. Thus, rather than introducing ad hoc functions, approximate Michaelis Menten kinetics can be utilized an approach that is briefly elaborated below. 

The usual starting point in enzyme kinetics is the Michaelis-Menten equation for the reaction rate v. This also seems a convenient starting point for interpretation of pressure effects on enzyme mechanisms. It will be shown that this formalism may be deceptive if the definitions and interpretations have not been made clear from the beginning. For the mechanism... 

The reduction in concentration of reactants, enzymes, and solute molecules can provide important information about kinetic systems. For example, one can readily differentiate a first-order process from a second-order process by testing whether the period required to reduce a reactant concentration to 50% of its initial value depends on dilution. First-order processes and intramolecular processes should not exhibit any effect on rate by diluting a reactant. In terms of enzyme-catalyzed processes, the Michaelis-Menten equation requires that the initial reaction velocity depends strictly on the concentration of active catalyst. Dilution can also be used to induce dissociation of molecular complexes or to promote depolymerization of certain polymers (such as F-actin and microtubules). 

An enzyme is said to obey Michaelis-Menten kinetics, if a plot of the initial reaction rate (in which the substrate concentration is in great excess over the total enzyme concentration) versus substrate concentration(s) produces a hyperbolic curve. There should be no cooperativity apparent in the rate-saturation process, and the initial rate behavior should comply with the Michaelis-Menten equation, v = Emax[A]/(7 a + [A]), where v is the initial velocity, [A] is the initial substrate concentration, Umax is the maximum velocity, and is the dissociation constant for the substrate. A, binding to the free enzyme. The original formulation of the Michaelis-Menten treatment assumed a rapid pre-equilibrium of E and S with the central complex EX. However, the steady-state or Briggs-Haldane derivation yields an equation that is iso-... 

Some investigators also unnecessarily apply the further restriction that Michaelis-Menten kinetics refers only to enzymes catalyzing the conversion of a single substrate to a single product. Were this taken to its extreme, only isomerases would qualify, because most one-substrate systems utilize water as a second substrate or product. See Michaelis-Menten Equation Uni Uni Mechanism Enzyme Rate Equations (1. The Basics)... 

A kinetic parameter, introduced by Koshland, to indicate the ratio of substrate concentrations needed to achieve reaction velocities equal to Q.f max and 0.9Fniax-For an enzyme obeying the Michaelis-Menten equation, o.9/ o.i equals 81, indicating that such enzymes exhibit modest sensitivity of reaction rate relative to changes in the substrate concentration. Many positively cooperative enzymes have So.g/So.i values between five and ten, indicating that they can be turned on or off over a relatively narrow substrate concentration range.

A. The rate of the simple enzyme-catalyzed reaction shown in the equation below can be described by Michaelis-Menten kinetics. 

There are still other causes of nonlinearities than (apparent or real) higher-order transformation kinetics. In Section 12.3 we discussed catalyzed reactions, especially the enzyme kinetics of the Michaelis-Menten type (see Box 12.2). We may also be interested in the modeling of chemicals which are produced by a nonlinear autocatalytic reaction, that is, by a production rate function, p(Q, which depends on the product concentration, C,. Such a production rate can be combined with an elimination rate function, r(C,), which may be linear or nonlinear and include different processes such as flushing and chemical transformations. Then the model equation has the general form ... 

This ratio is of fundamental importance in the relationship between enzyme kinetics and catalysis. In the analysis of the Michaelis-Menten rate law (equation 5.8), the ratio cat/Km is an apparent second-order rate constant and, at low substrate concentrations, only a small fraction of the total enzyme is bound to the substrate and the rate of reaction is proportional to the free enzyme concentration ... 

The graphical significance of the constants in the Monod equation are identical to the corresponding constants in the Michaelis-Menten relationship for enzyme kinetics (see Section 5.4.4). The specific growth rate initially increases with increas-... 

Two possible explanations can be readily put forward as to why this form of equation should be suitable for describing the dependence of microbial growth rate on feed concentration. The first of these is that the equation has the same form as the theoretically based Michaelis-Menten equation used to describe enzyme kinetics. The chemical reactions occurring inside a microbial cell are generally mediated by enzymes, and it would be reasonable to suppose that one of these reactions is for some reason slower than the others. As a result the growth kinetics of the micro-organism would be expected to reflect the kinetics of this enzyme reaction, probably modified in some way, but in essence having the form of the Michaelis-Menten equation. 

Assuming that the local rate of enzyme reaction follows Michaelis-Menten kinetics, or that the microbe film follows Monod kinetics regardless of immobilisation, then equation 5.86 becomes ... 

The fundamental equation in enzyme kinetics is the Michaelis-Menten equation. These workers worked on the hypothesis that the reaction proceeds through an enzyme-substrate complex (ES) that forms rapidly from the free enzyme (E) and the substrate (S) and may be described by an equilibrium (or Michaelis) constant AT/. Upon reaction, the ES complex then decomposes and is converted to product by a rate-determining step with a rate constant Acat. The scheme is shown below ... 

The Monod kinetic parameters, and Ks, cannot be estimated with a series of batch runs as easily as the Michaelis-Menten parameters for an enzyme reaction. In the case of an enzyme reaction, the initial rate of reaction can be measured as a function of substrate concentration in batch runs. However, in the case of cell cultivation, the initial rate of reaction in a batch run is always zero due to the presence of a lag phase, during which Monod kinetics does not apply. It should be noted that even though the Monod equation has the same form as the Michaelis-Menten equation, the rate equation is different. In the Michaelis-Menten equation,...
