Kinetics

We modeled our enzyme reactions in propane pathway with Michaelis-Menten enzyme kinetics. It is widely used in this kind of modeling and assumes that the reaction enzyme catalyses is rapid compared to the enzyme and substrate joining together and leaving each other. The very basic equation for irreversible one substrate reaction is \[ \text{rate} = \frac{V_{max}[S]}{K_{cat}+[S]}, \] where \([S]\) is substrate concentration. \( V_{max} \) tells us the maximum speed of the enzyme and \( K_{cat} \) ... . Only few of our reactions follow this very basic equation, and for the most of them we need to use multisubstrate reaction kinetics. (reference for the book?)

pic of our pathway here to make things more clear. Do we want pictures with highlited enzymes in every subcategory?

Hdb

Species is Clostridium acetobutylicum, but Clostridium Kluyveri ought to be close enough for comparison.

The specific activity of the 3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase (forward) as measured in the direction of acetoacetyl-CoA reduction was 478.6 U/mg protein. The rate of the oxidation reaction (reverse) proceeded with 36.6 U / mg protein.
