The computerized derivation of steady-state rate equations for enzyme kinetics.

摘要

A FORTRAN 77 program is described for the derivation of steady-state rate equations for enzyme kinetics. Input is very simple and consists of the two enzyme forms and the two rate constants for each step in the mechanism. The program may be run interactively or off-line. The results are produced after collecting together the algebraic coefficients of like concentration terms, taking account of sign. A fully interactive BASIC version running on a BBC Microcomputer is also available. Details of the programs have been deposited as Supplementary Publication SUP 50126 (45 pages) with the British Library Lending Division, Boston Spa, Wetherby, West Yorkshire LS23 7BQ, U.K., from whom copies may be obtained as indicated in Biochem. J. (1984) 217, 5.
