“…Figure 1b shows the applied model scheme of enzyme deactivation. Considering different deactivation mechanisms from the literature (Baptista et al, 2003;Boy et al, 2001;Collins et al, 2003;Daniel et al, 1996;Hei and Clark, 1993;Jurado et al, 2004;Nikolova et al, 1997;Peterson et al, 2004;Polakovic and Bryjak, 2002;Polakovic and Vrabel, 1996), four enzyme fractions are defined: active enzyme, reversibly deactivated enzyme, irreversibly deactivated enzyme, irreversibly deactivated agglomerates. The arrows in the figure depict the change from fraction to fraction as chemical reactions with reaction constants k, which are assumed to behave in accordance to the Arrhenius law.…”
