Equations for the pre-steady state and the steady state are derived for enzyme systems in which the enzyme E, the substrate A, and an inhibitor Q are present together, the enzyme concentration being much lower than the concentrations of A and Q. Various mechanisms are considered, ail of them involving two intermediates EA and EA′ (e.g. an acyl enzyme). When the inhibition is reversible the transient phase is followed by the establishment of a steady state. It is shown how experimental pre-steady-state and steady-state results can be analyzed to obtain rate constants, including those for the binding of inhibitor. If the binding of inhibitor is irreversible there is no steady state.

Equations for the pre-steady state and the steady state are derived for enzyme systems in which enzyme E, substrate A, and inhibitor Q are present, the enzyme concentration being lower than the substrate and inhibitor concentrations. It is assumed that the mechanism involves a single intermediate EA. Equations for competitive, anticompetitive, and pure noncompetitive inhibition are derived. When the inhibition is reversible the transient phase is followed by the establishment of a steady state. Analysis of experimental results is discussed for each type of inhibition. If the inhibition is irreversible, there is no steady state.

The transient-phase and steady-state equations are derived for four enzyme mechanisms involving two substrates, namely (1) Theorell–Chance mechanism, (2) ping pong bi bi mechanism, (3) ordered ternary-complex mechanism, and (4) random ternary-complex mechanism. In each case, a discussion is presented of the way in which the individual rate constants can be separated on the basis of experimental transient-phase investigations.

A theoretical treatment is worked out for the kinetic scheme[Formula: see text]in which the concentration of P1 is followed. The steady-state and transient phase equations are obtained subject to the condition that the substrate concentration is greatly in excess of the enzyme concentration. The conditions under which evidence in favor of this mechanism can be obtained from experimental data are discussed. Under certain conditions, the weight of the enzyme corresponding to one active site can be determined. Methods for the evaluation of the different constants are described.

A non-steady-state analysis has been worked out for two mechanisms in which an activator Q can become attached to an enzyme–substrate complex EA, the species EAQ breaking down more rapidly than EA. It is shown that if EAQ breaks down into EQ + product there can be no steady state. If, however, EAQ breaks down into E + Q + product, the transient phase is followed by a steady state in which the product versus time curve is linear. A special case of this mechanism is when Q is the substrate (substrate activation). Some published kinetic data on carboxypeptidase are analyzed with reference to the equations derived.

Laidler (1955) showed that consideration of the effect of pH on enzymic mechanisms that obey steady-state kinetics leads to the inclusion in the equations of a ‘perturbation term’ that can introduce curvature into the Lineweaver–Burk plots. He also stated conditions in which this term vanishes. This term can lead to apparent activation by substrate. Further, several cases are shown in which simplification, but not disappearance, of the perturbation term can lead to linearity of Lineweaver–Burk plots. These cases arise when the ionization of groups at the active site either is unaffected or is completely prevented when the enzyme–substrate complex is formed. It is also shown that V(app.) can vary with pH without a concomitant change in Km(app.) in certain cases that obey steady-state kinetics without implying that Km=Ks. When the perturbation term is significant, Dixon's (1953) rules for the calculation of pK values will not always apply.

The steady-state hypothesis is discussed for enzyme systems, and the conditions under which the steady-state equations will be valid over the main course of the reaction are obtained. It is shown that this is so if the substrate is in great excess, and also under several other circumstances. Equations are derived for the kinetic behavior during the transient phase of the reaction. Two-substrate systems, and the special case of catalase, are considered.
