Non-small cell lung cancer: miR-30d suppresses tumor invasion and migration by directly targeting NFIB.

abstract：:A Simplified version of rate equations for enzyme-catalyzed reactions has been developed in which the rate equation is analyzed with two different mechanisms: ordered bi-ter and Ping-Pong bi-bi mechanisms. This procedure is able to develop the rate expressions accurately. Random sequential order mechanism can be effec...
