Abstract:
:The most widely used rate expression for single-substrate enzyme catalyzed reactions, namely the Michaelis-Menten kinetics is based upon the assumption that enzyme concentration is in excess of the substrate in the medium and the rate is mainly limited by the substrate concentration according to saturation kinetics. However, this is only a special case and the actual rate expression varies depending on the initial enzyme/substrate ratio (E(0)/S(0)). When the substrate concentration exceeds the enzyme concentration the limitation is due to low enzyme concentration and the rate increases with the enzyme concentration according to saturation kinetics. The maximum rate is obtained when the initial concentrations of the enzyme and the substrate are equal. A generalized rate equation was developed in this study and special cases were discussed for enzyme catalyzed reactions.
