Michaelis-Menten Kinetics

Introduction

Michaelis - Menten kinetics is a model used to examine enzyme kinetic. The governing equations for this model were compiled in the MATLAB, with the goal of creating a calculator. Known values for concentrations and reactions rates are used as inputs, and the file produces the various rates of change with respect to the concentrations.

Governing Equations

The MATLAB code takes in the substrate concentration, product concentration, and enzyme concentration, represented as [S], [P] and [E] respectively. Additionally, known reaction rates for the forward, reverse, and catalytic directions are represented as k_f, k_r, and k_cat respectively. The preceding values are put into a function which generates the rates of change of concentration with respect to time through the following first order ordinary differential equations:

Use

To use the calculator, simply open the MATLAB file and enter the reaction rates and concentration in the noted areas. After running the file, the reaction rates will appear in the MATLAB command window.
