Is there anything left to say on enzyme kinetic constants and quasi-steady state approximation?

Abstract: In this paper we re-examine the commonly accepted meaning of the two kinetic constants characterizing any enzymatic reaction, according to Michaelis-Menten kinetics. Expanding in terms of exponentials the solutions of the ODEs governing the reaction, we determine a new constant, which corrects some misinterpretations of current biochemical literature

“…Equation (4) produces a good approximation s m for s under certain conditions (sometimes called validity criteria) [3], [5], [11], [12], [18], [28], [24], [25]. Thus, the condition e 0 s 0 assures good approximation and is ubiquitous for many fermentation and biotechnological processes, but may not be present, as in living cells [1], [26].…”

“…From (25) we have f + c = k c c. Assuming that the monomer m is abundant in a time interval ∆ we can apply the QSSA principle and assume that c is approximately equal to 0 in ∆, and accordingly, in ∆ we have approximately f = k c c [1], [4], [5], [13], [32], [35], [36], [37]. Hence, for some t * ∈ ∆ we have f (t * ) = k c c (t * ) = 0, hence function f has inflection and has a sigmoidal form.…”
