Terminology
- Explain the following terms in your own words.
- The Michaelis-Menten model of enzyme kinetics.
- The experiment required for the Lineweaver-Burk approach to estimating parameters for Michealis-Menten.
- Chemostat reactor.
- Exponential growth.
Applying Michealis-Menten Models
- Consider a single substrate being converted to product.
E + S ↔ ES → E + P with an initial substrate concentration of 1.0 and an initial enzyme concentration of 0.05. Use the Michaelis-Menten matlab model to explore the following.
- Set k1 = 2.0, k-1 = 0.0. Plot the substrate dynamics for k2 = 1.0, k2 = 2.0, k2 = 5.0, k2 = 10.0 all on the same graph to see the effect of this parameter.
- Set k1 = 2.0, k-1 = 1.0. Plot the substrate dynamics for k2 = 1.0, k2 = 2.0, k2 = 5.0, k2 = 10.0 all on the same graph to see the effect of this parameter.
- Set k1 = 2.0, k-1 = 5.0. Plot the substrate dynamics for k2 = 1.0, k2 = 2.0, k2 = 5.0, k2 = 10.0 all on the same graph to see the effect of this parameter.
You may use the matlab code provided at my lionshare folder.
Estimating Michaelis-Menten Parameters
- Consider the following data:
[S] = 11.0, 16.7, 20.0, 25.0, 33.3, 50.0
V = 0.00952, 0.01111, 0.01282, 0.01515, 0.01852, 0.02128
Apply the Lineweaver-Burk technique to determine Vmax and K.

Terminology
- The Michaelis-Menten equation is used to mathematically illustrate the biological conversion of a substrate and enzyme to a complex and then to a product.
- The Lineweaver-Burk experiment is an example of the Michaelis-Menten equation in action. The results were obtained by manipulating the original equation (ie: taking the reciprocal) and converting the MM equation into mx+b format.
- A chemostat reaction is a "test" to find the equilibrium point of a system, where the amount of substance consumed equals the amount produced or the amount into the system equals the amount going out.
- Exponential growth looks very similar to ex when graphed (pattern: more product=faster growth).
