L-Glutaminase enzyme was an important enzyme involved in the mineralization of amide forms of nitrogen in the soils. The characteristics of enzyme were determined by these kinetics. The two most remarkable properties of enzymes are their specificity and catalytic efficiency, and it is these properties that enzymes differ in their most strinkingly from simple catalysts. When it is possible to co...

In the considerable time interval between the establishment of chemical equations for enzyme action by Michaelis and Menten (l), and their extension by Briggs and Haldane (Z), to the present time, there has been no satisfactory mathematical approach to a detailed comparison of the over-all or intermediate kinetics with those of the chemical equations. In spite of other efforts to make approxima...

Estimation of initial rates The vast majority of enzyme kinetic analyses presented in the literature involve the measurement and analysis of initial rates; this is so because the interpretation of properly estimated initial rates is a relatively robust procedure. It is, however, not infrequent to find that it is difficult to obtain good estimates of initial rates owing to premature curvature of...

1. A review of the applicability of Schütz's Law to enzymic reactions is given. 2. The theoretical deductions of the Law, (a) on the basis of the law of mass action, (b) on the basis of the adsorption theory, are given and the significance of the assumptions made in these deductions pointed out. 3. It is shown that the true critical increment for an enzymic reaction is equal to twice the critic...
