“…Their original motivation was to extend the parameter domain for the applicability of the standard QSSA (Segel and Slemrod, 1989). Later on, the conditions for the validity of the tQSSA have been refined (Schnell and Maini, 2000;Tzafriri, 2003), and the method has been successfully applied to more complicated reaction systems such as the reversible Michaelis-Menten reaction (Tzafriri and Edelman, 2004), substrate competition (Pedersen et al, 2007), covalent modification cycles (Gomez-Uribe et al, 2007;Ciliberto et al, 2007;Pedersen et al, 2010) and to describe the transient phase kinetics (Masia et al, 2016).…”
