Crazy Math Formulas

[Pat Bogard]

This one is used to show enzyme kinetics, its actually derived through about 20 equations

Variables and Explanation of symbols used:
{} = subscripts
[] = concentration
E = enzyme
S = substrate
ES = enzyme-substrate bonded together
[S] = concentration of substrate
K{M} = (k{-1} + k{2})/k{1}
where k{1}, K{-1}, and k{2} are rate constants for the reaction these are dependant on the substrate and enzyme
V{max}= k{2}*[E]{T}
[E]{T} = [ES]

and the equation
Michaelis - Menten Model:
V{0} = V{max}*([S]/[S] +K{M}
