Mechanisms of Enzymatic Reactions

In this article we will discuss about the mechanisms of enzymatic reactions. While studying the kinetics of enzymatic reactions we noted that Michaelis was led to postulate the formation of an intermediate enzyme-substrate com­plex right at the beginning of this century. What was then only a hypothesis was later largely confirmed and proved. The great disproportion between the size of [...]

Kinetics of Enzymatic Reactions | Biochemistry

A catalyst — whether chemical or biological — acts by increasing the velocity of reactions. We will now examine the kinetics of enzymatic reactions. The velocity of an enzymatic reaction is generally fol­lowed up by measuring the quantity of substrate transformed per unit time; one can also record the quantity of the product (or one of the products) formed by [...]
