Enzyme kinetics; principles and methods, 2d ed.9783527319572 Enzyme kinetics Enzyme kinetics is the study of the rates of chemical reactions that are catalysed by enzymes. The study of an enzyme's kinetics provides insights into the catalytic mechanism of this enzyme, its role in metabolism, how its activity is controlled in the cell and how drugs and ; principles and methods, 2d ed.

He does however limit discussion to the prominent systems, which include immobilized enzymes, membrane integrated enzymes and transport systems, and enzymes on boundary layers between the aqueous solution of the cytosol cytosol /cy·to·sol/ (sit´ah-sol) the liquid medium of the cytoplasm, i.e., cytoplasm minus organelles and nonmembranous insoluble components.cytosol´ic cy·to·sol n. and the membrane. A second section explores the comparison between enzyme kinetics and pharmacokinetics. He derives and presents formula but also explains the treatments, their significance, applications, limits, and pitfalls. ([c]20082005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR) |
