摘要
This study examines the steady state kinetics of a reaction involving an enzyme, a substrate and a modifier when the reaction follows Michaelis-Menten kinetics. Conditions for Michaelis-Menten kinetics are deduced, and it is shown that an analogue of detailed balance determines the complexity of the rate equations in these cases. A scheme to distinguish many cases of Michaelis-Menten kinetics is presented. It is shown that steady state kinetics are, in general, insufficient to specify the mechanism of a reaction, since different effects of a modifier can give identical steady state kinetic data. © 1968 N.
