Steady state rate equations have been derived for ordered bi bi and ping pong bi bi reactions in which there are (a) one or two nonsubstrate modifiers, (b) two different binding sites for a single nonsubstrate modifier, (c) one or two substrates acting as modifiers, and (d) both nonsubstrate modifiers and substrates acting as modifiers. The deviation of these equations from the Michaelis–Menten equation is shown and methods are suggested by which many of these mechanisms can be distinguished experimentally.

1. Two methods are described for deriving the steady-state velocity of an enzyme reaction from a consideration of fluxes between enzyme intermediates. The equivalent-reaction technique, in which enzyme intermediates are systematically eliminated and replaced by equivalent reactions, appears the most generally useful. The methods are applicable to all enzyme mechanisms, including three-substrate and random Bi Bi Ping Pong mechanisms. Solutions are obtained in algebraic form and these are presented for the common random Bi Bi mechanisms. The steady-state quantities of the enzyme intermediates may also be calculated. Additional steps may be introduced into enzyme mechanisms for which the steady-state velocity equation is already known. 2. The calculation of fluxes between substrates and products in three-substrate and random Bi Bi Ping Pong mechanisms is described. 3. It is concluded that the new methods may offer advantages in ease of calculation and in the analysis of the effects of individual steps on the overall reaction. The methods are used to show that an ordered addition of two substrates to an enzyme which is activated by another ligand will not necessarily give hyperbolic steady-state-velocity kinetics or the flux ratios characteristic of an ordered addition, if the dissociation of the ligand from the enzyme is random.

The software WinStes, developed by our group, is used to derive the strict steady-state initial rate equation of the reaction mechanism of CTP:sn-glycerol-3-phosphate cytidylyltransferase [EC 2.7.7.39] from Bacillus subtilis. This enzyme catalyzes a reaction with two substrates and operates by a random ordered binding mechanism with two molecules of each substrate. The accuracy of the steady-state rate equation derived is checked by comparing the rate values it provides with those obtained from the simulated progress curves. To analyze the kinetics of this enzyme using the strict steady-state initial rate equation, several curves for different substrate concentrations and different rate constants are generated. A comparison of these curves with the curves obtained from the rapid equilibrium initial rate equation, with different substrate concentration values, serves to analyze how the strict steady-state rate equation values are closer to those of rapid equilibrium rate equations when rapid equilibrium conditions are fulfilled.

A criticism [Cornish-Bowden (1976) Biochem. J. 159, 167] of an algebraic method for deriving steady-state rate equations [Indge & Childs (1976) Biochem. J. 155, 567-570] is theoretically founded.

Pyrophosphate ions activate the steady-state rate of oxidation of propionaldehyde by sheep liver cytosolic aldehyde dehydrogenase at alkaline pH values. The steps in the mechanism governing the release of NADH from terminal enzyme. NADH complexes have been shown to be rate-limiting at pH 7.6 [MacGibbon, Buckley & Blackwell (1977) Biochem J. 165, 455-462]. These steps are shown to be also rate-limiting at more alkaline pH values, and it is through an acceleration of these steps that pyrophosphate ions exert their activation effect.

A FORTRAN 77 program is described for the derivation of steady-state rate equations for enzyme kinetics. Input is very simple and consists of the two enzyme forms and the two rate constants for each step in the mechanism. The program may be run interactively or off-line. The results are produced after collecting together the algebraic coefficients of like concentration terms, taking account of sign. A fully interactive BASIC version running on a BBC Microcomputer is also available. Details of the programs have been deposited as Supplementary Publication SUP 50126 (45 pages) with the British Library Lending Division, Boston Spa, Wetherby, West Yorkshire LS23 7BQ, U.K., from whom copies may be obtained as indicated in Biochem. J. (1984) 217, 5.

The scope and limitations of a simple and satisfactory method of deducing steady-state rate equations is described. This method (called the Flux Method) consists in writing down the flux in successive steps of the reaction, and calculating the relative concentration of enzyme forms and thence the turnover time. Kinetic mechanisms for linear and branched pathways are used as examples of this method.

The kinetics of dissociation of NADPH from its complex with isocitrate dehydrogenase, and from the abortive complex of enzyme, Mg 2+ , isocitrate and NADPH, have been studied in phosphate and triethanolamine buffers by means of rapid fluorescence measurements. The reactions are complex, and it is suggested that a conformational equilibrium of each of the complexes is involved, and that this conformational change is also responsible for a slow approach to the steady-state rate of oxidative decarboxylation observed previously in triethanolamine buffer under certain conditions (K. Dalziel, N. McFerran, B. Matthews & C. H. Reynolds, Biochem . J . 171, 743‒750 (1978)). It is concluded that release of free NADPH product is not the rate-limiting step in oxidative decarboxylation in the steady state. The validity of the ligand displacement method used to measure the dissociation kinetics of the enzyme‒NADPH complex has been studied by computer simulation.
