A note on a new class of generalized Pearson distribution arising from Michaelis-Menten function of enzyme kinetics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Many problems of enzyme kinetics can be described by a function known as the Michaelis-Menten (M-M) function. In this paper, motivated by the importance of Michaelis-Menten function in biochemistry and other biological phenomena, we have introduced a new class of generalized Pearson distribution arising from Michaelis-Menten function. Various properties of this distribution are derived, for example, its probability density function (pdf), cumulative distribution function (cdf), moment, entropy function, and relationships with some well-known continuous probability distributions. The graphs of the pdf and cdf of our new distribution are provided for some selected values of the parameters. It is observed that our new distribution is positively skewed and unimodal. We hope that the findings of this paper will be useful in many applied research problems. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 60E05, 62E10, 62E15.

The Kinetics of Enzyme Mixtures
Even purified enzyme preparations are often heterogeneous. For example, preparations of aspartate aminotransferase or cytochrome oxidase can consist of several different forms of the enzyme. For this reason we consider how different the kinetics of the reactions catalysed by a mixture of forms of an enzyme must be to provide some indication of the characteristics of the species present. Based...

متن کاملParallel versus Off-Pathway Michaelis-Menten Mechanism for Single-Enzyme Kinetics of a Fluctuating Enzyme.
Recent fluorescence spectroscopy measurements of the turnover time distribution of single-enzyme turnover kinetics of β-galactosidase provide evidence of Michaelis-Menten kinetics at low substrate concentration. However, at high substrate concentrations, the dimensionless variance of the turnover time distribution shows systematic deviations from the Michaelis-Menten prediction. This difference...
متن کاملExponential function for calculating saturable enzyme kinetics.
Enzyme kinetics are usually described by the Michaelis-Menten equation, where the time-dependent decrease of substrate (-dS/dt) is a hyperbolic function of maximal velocity (Vmax), Michaelis constant (Km), and amount of substrate (S). Because the Michaelis-Menten function in its most general meaning requires an assumption of steady-state, it is less curvilinear than true enzyme kinetics. A satu...
متن کاملIntegrated Michaelis-Menten equation in DynaFit. 3. Application to HIV protease BIOKIN TECHNICAL NOTE TN-2016-03
The DynaFit software package (http://www.biokin.com/dynafit/) contains a builtin (“hard-coded”) implementation of the integrated Michaelis-Menten equation formulated in terms of the Lambert omega function. This built-in regression model can be used conveniently to determine the substrate kinetic parameters either from a single progress curve or from a collection of enzymatic progress curves ana...
