Law, Michaelis—Menten

Fig. 28.4. Degradation of phenol by a consortium of methanogens, as observed in a laboratory experiment by Bekins et al. (1998 symbols), and modeled using the Michaelis-Menten equation (solid line). Inset shows detail of transition from linear or zero-order trend at concentrations greater than KAy to asymptotic, first-order kinetics below this level. Broken line is result of assuming a first-order rather than Michaelis-Menten law.

The simplest case of a reactor is a cuvette, such as that in a photometer. From the Michaelis-Menten equation and the equation for the batch reactor [Eqs. (5.11) and (5.12)], respectively, as well as the definition for the degree of conversion % for the simple reaction S —> P, x = 1 - [S]/[S0] = [P]/[S0], the integrated equation (5.15) for an enzyme reaction following a Michaelis-Menten law in a batch reactor is obtained. 

Calibration is necessary for in-situ spectrometry in TLC. Either the peak height or the peak area data are measured, and used for calculation. Although the nonlinear calibration curve with an external standard method is used, however, it shows only a small deviation from linearity at small concentrations [94.95 and fulfils the requirement of routine pharmaceutical analysis 96,97J. One problem may be the saturation function of the calibration curve. Several linearisation equations have been constructed, which serve to calculate the point of determination on the basis of the calibration line and these linearisation equations are used in the software of some scanners. A more general problem is the saturation function of the calibration curve. It is a characteristic of a wide variety of adsorption-type phenomena, such as the Langmuir and the Michaelis-Menten law for enzyme kinetics as detailed in the literature [98. Saturation is also evident for the hyperbolic shape of the Kubelka-Munk equation that has to be taken into consideration when a large load is applied and has to be determined. 

Many reactions obey the Michaelis-Menten law, and a considerable number of Michaelis constants have been determined. However, note that adherence to the empirical law does not establish the simple mechanism, since more complicated mechanisms can give exactly the same behavior. An example is the mechanism... 

In this context the composite constant is called the Michaelis constant and the rate law, Eq. (32.100) is called the Michaelis-Menten law. Here, again, we note that as [S]q becomes very large the rate approaches a limiting value,... 

The typical variation in the rate of reaction as a function of the concentration of the reactant is shown in Fig. 34.2. This figure should be compared with Fig. 32.12, which shows the same behavior for a homogeneous catalyst. Note that Eq. (34.5) has the same form as Eq. (32.95), the equation for homogeneous catalysis, which is the same as the Michaelis-Menten law, Eq. (32.100) , for enzymes. Also, Eq. (34.6) has the same form as the Lineweaver-Burk equation for enzymes. 

The oxidation of hydrazine itself has been studied using tetrasulfophthalocyanine complexes of Co(II), Cu(II), Ni(II), Mn(II) and Fe(II) but only the Co(II) complex was found to possess catalytic activity [156]. Differences in catalytic activity were explained by the ability of the Co(II) complex to reversibly bind molecular oxygen. The kinetics of the autoxidation catalyzed by cobalt tetrasulfophthalocyanine can be described by the Michaelis-Menten law. The mechanism suggested for this reaction is shown in reaction sequence (118).

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 ...

The Michaelis-Menten equatioa 10.2-9, is developed in Section 10.2.1 from the point of view of homogeneous catalysis and the formation of an intermediate complex. Use the Langmuir-Hinshelwood model of surface catalysis (Chapter 8), applied to the substrate in liquid solution and the enzyme as a colloidal particle with active sites, to obtain the same form of rate law.

The rate law for two diastereomeric catalyst-substrate complexes -symmetric ligands) resulting from Michaelis-Menten kinetics (Eq. (11)) has already been utilized by Halpern et al. for the kinetic analysis of hydrogenations according to Scheme 10.2, and corresponds to Eq. (3) of this study. 

The simple kinetics for uptake of soluble substrate of the bacteria in a biofilm is traditionally described by a combination of mass transport across the water/biofilm interface, transport in the biofilm itself and the corresponding relevant biotransformations. Transport through the stagnant water layer at the biofilm surface is described by Fick s first law of diffusion. Fick s second law of diffusion and Michaelis-Menten (Monod) kinetics are used for describing the combined transport and transformations in the biofilm itself (Williamson...

For power-law functions the (scaled) elasticities do not depend on the substrate concentration, that is, unlike Michaelis Menten rate equations, power-law functions will not saturate for increasing substrate concentration. 

In the absence of an enzyme, the reaction rate v is proportional to the concentration of substance A (top). The constant k is the rate constant of the uncatalyzed reaction. Like all catalysts, the enzyme E (total concentration [E]t) creates a new reaction pathway, initially, A is bound to E (partial reaction 1, left), if this reaction is in chemical equilibrium, then with the help of the law of mass action—and taking into account the fact that [E]t = [E] + [EA]—one can express the concentration [EA] of the enzyme-substrate complex as a function of [A] (left). The Michaelis constant lknow that kcat > k—in other words, enzyme-bound substrate reacts to B much faster than A alone (partial reaction 2, right), kcat. the enzyme s turnover number, corresponds to the number of substrate molecules converted by one enzyme molecule per second. Like the conversion A B, the formation of B from EA is a first-order reaction—i. e., V = k [EA] applies. When this equation is combined with the expression already derived for EA, the result is the Michaelis-Menten equation. 

If EHi and S combine rapidly, and if the conversion of EHiS to EHi + P is the slow step, one can write a rate law similar to the Michaelis-Menten equation. In this case, however, the enzyme is distributed into additional forms (including four nonproductive forms E, ES, EH2 and EH2S) ... 

Reactions in which the velocity (v) of the process is independent of the reactant concentration, following the rate law v = k. Thus, the rate constant k has units of M sAn example of a zero-order reaction is a Michaelis-Menten enzyme-catalyzed reaction in which the substrate concentration is much larger than the Michaelis constant. Under these conditions, if the substrate concentration is raised even further, no change in the velocity will be observed (since v = Umax)- Thus, the reaction is zero-order with respect to the substrate. However, the reaction is still first-order with respect to total enzyme concentration. When the substrate concentration is not saturating then the reaction ceases to be zero order with respect to substrate. Reactions that are zero-order in each reactant are exceedingly rare. Thus, zero-order reactions address a fundamental difference between order and molecularity. Reaction order is an empirical relationship. Hence, the term pseudo-zero order is actually redundant. All zero-order reactions cease being so when no single reactant is in excess concentration with respect to other reactants in the system.

With deeper understanding of the rate laws applicable to these hydrolases, now we need to deduce the parameters that combine to give corresponding khl0 values for Michaelis-Menten cases (Eq. 17-80). We may now see that the mathematical form we used earlier to describe the biodegradation of benzo[f]quinoline (Eq. 17-82) could apply in certain cases. Further we can rationalize the expressions used by others to model the hydrolysis of other pollutants when rates are normalized to cell numbers (e.g., Paris et al., 1981, for the butoxyethylester of 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid) or they are found to fall between zero and first order in substrate concentration (Wanner et al., 1989, for disulfoton and thiometon). 

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 ... 

At very high substrate concentrations deviations from the classical Michaelis-Menten rate law are observed. In this situation, the initial rate of a reaction increases with increasing substrate concentration until a limit is reached, after which the rate declines with increasing concentration. Substrate inhibition can cause such deviations when two molecules of substrate bind immediately, giving a catalytically inactive form. For example, with succinate dehydrogenase at very high concentrations of the succinate substrate, it is possible for two molecules of substrate to bind to the active site and this results in non-functional complexes. Equation S.19 gives one form of modification of the Michaelis-Menten equation. 

The deviation of the reaction rate 31, from the rectangular hyperbola which would be shown by a true Michaelis-Menten reaction law, is best illustrated by considering the data as represented by an Eadie-Hofstee plot. The original equation for the Michaelis-Menten or Monod kinetics ...
