Mathematical description of catalytic activity DERIVING RATE LAWS
Deriving Enzymatic Rate Laws from Postulated Reaction Mechanisms • Formulate mass balances on elementary reactions • Identify mass balances/time invariants • Reduce to the dynamically independent variables • Apply simplifying assumptions: The QSSA or the QEA • Use numerical integration to determine when the assumptions apply • Scale equations and form dimensionless numbers (optional; advanced analysis)

Applicability of the QEA, QSSA k2 S+E ES P+E • When k2 << k-1then the QEA works • When et << Km then the QSSA works • When Km << st then the QSSA works k-1 slow fast k2<<k-1 ( see Chem. Eng. Sci., 42, 447-458.)

Summary • Enzymes are highly specialized catalysts that accelerate reaction rates • Reaction mechanisms are formulated for the chemical conversions carried out by enzymes in terms of elementary reactions. • Rate laws for enzyme reaction mechanisms are derived based on simplifying assumptions. • Two simplifying assumptions are commonly used: the quasi-steady state (QSSA) and the quasi-equilibrium assumptions (QEA). • The validity of the simplifying assumptions can be determined using scaling of the equations followed by mathematical and numerical analysis. • A number of rate laws have been developed for enzyme catalysis and for the regulation of enzymes. Only three reaction mechanisms were described in this chapter.
