Example Problems
Derivation of steady-state rate equations using the King-Altman method

Update

[May 2015]
  • A significantly enhanced version of this online tool was made part of the software package DynaFit.
  • See BioKin Technical Note TN-2015-03 for details.

Examples

Below are a few examples that were used to test the present implementation of the King-Altman method. You may wish to modify the examples, for example by adding activators and/or inhibitors.

Copy text from the editable areas below, and paste it into the data submision page.

IMPORTANT NOTE: All activators and/or inhibitors must be shown in the [modifiers] section (as a comma separate list, if more than one modifier is present).

Compare the results with Segel's Enzyme Kinetics, page 649: this mechanism should produce 48 denominator terms.



Dihydrofolate reductaseTop of pageNext section

Benkovic et al. (1988) painstakingly determined all elementary rate constants in this relatively complex mechanism:



Mixed-type inhibition of dihydrofolate reductaseTop of pageNext section

Appleman et al. (1988) determined that certain inhibitors bind both to free dihydrofolate reductase, and to the DHRF-NADPH+ complex. This system represents the most complex mechanism in this collection of example problems:
