The disinfectant properties of chlorine have been known for centuries but in the last few years water chlorination has attracted some criticism due to its secondary effects and the increased resistance of bacterial strains to chlorine inactivation. In this paper the kinetics of inactivation by chlorine of different Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains isolated from chlorinated wate...

This article is concerned with the asymptotic accuracy of the Computational Singular Perturbation (CSP) method developed by Lam and Goussis [The CSP method for simplifying kinetics, Int. J. Chem. Kin. 26 (1994) 461–486] to reduce the dimensionality of a system of chemical kinetics equations. The method, which is generally applicable to multiple-time scale problems arising in a broad array of sc...

Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.49) has been partially purified from Anacystis nidulans and Anabaena flos-aquae by means of ammonium sulfate fractionation and exclusion gel chromatography and the kinetic properties determined.Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase from these blue-green algae exhibits Michaelis-Menten kinetics at pH 6.7. At this pH, Km values of 0.37 mm for glucose 6-phos...

Abstract The Selkov oscillator, a simple description of glycolysis, is system two ordinary differential equations with mass action kinetics. In previous work the authors established several properties solutions this system. present paper we extend to prove that has which diverge infinity in an oscillatory manner at late times. This done help Poincaré compactification and shooting argument. was ...

Resealed chromaffin-granule ;ghosts' were used to study the steady-state kinetics of catecholamine transport. The pump has a high affinity for (-)-noradrenaline, (-)-adrenaline, tyramine and 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin), but a lower affinity for (+)-noradrenaline. The measured rates of incorporation do not conform to Michaelis-Menten kinetics, but affinity constants for the former substrates...

. Dengue in recent years has become a worldwide public health concern. So far, there was no defined treatment for it. Therefore, secondary interpretation of a therapeutic trial study was done to evaluate the potential of Carica papaya leaves extract against Dengue fever by application of chemical kinetic studies. The performed secondary analysis data set was obtained from Ahmad et al., 2011. Ac...

Tihonov's Theorems for systems of first-order ordinary differential equations containing small parameters in the derivatives, which form the mathematical foundation of the steady-state approximation, are restated. A general procedure for simplifying chemical and enzyme reaction kinetics, based on the difference of characteristic time scales, Is presented. Korzuhin's Theorem, which makes it poss...

The response of an amperometric biosensor at mixed enzyme kinetics and diffusion limitations was modelled digitally in the case of substrate inhibition. Digital simulations were carried out using a finite difference technique. Calculations showed complex kinetics of biosensor response. At low enzyme activity and substrate concentration (S0), the response of the sensor looks like it is limited b...
