Using singular perturbation theory to determine kinetic parameters in a non-standard coupled enzyme assay (2020)
Journal Article
Dalwadi, M. P., Orol, D., Walter, F., Minton, N. P., King, J. R., & Kovács, K. (2020). Using singular perturbation theory to determine kinetic parameters in a non-standard coupled enzyme assay. Journal of Mathematical Biology, 81(2), 649-690. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00285-020-01524-8

We investigate how to characterize the kinetic parameters of an aminotransaminase using a non-standard coupled (or auxiliary) enzyme assay, where the peculiarity arises for two reasons. First, one of the products of the auxiliary enzyme is a substrat... Read More about Using singular perturbation theory to determine kinetic parameters in a non-standard coupled enzyme assay.

A Sustainable Chemicals Manufacturing Paradigm Using CO2 and Renewable H2 (2020)
