dose-dependent pharmacokinetic of phenytoin necessitates the estimation of the maximum rate of metabolism (vm) and the michaelis-menten constant (km) in a concerned population. the aim of this study was to determine the pharmacokinetic parameters of phenytoin in a sample of iranian patients to optimize the antiepileptic pharmacotherapy. fourty patients who received a constant dose of phenytoin ...

Traditionally, the Michaelis-Menten equation has been used to determine kinetic parameters for in vitro glucuronidation assays. Recently, estradiol-3-glucuronide formation was shown to exhibit non-Michaelis-Menten kinetics consistent with autoactivation. A concern with the observation of nontraditional kinetics is that they may result as an artifact of the incubation conditions. To examine this...

In this paper, we present: (i) a novel analog silicon retina featuring auto-adaptive pixels that obey the Michaelis-Menten law, i.e. V=V(m) I(n)/I(n)+σ(n); (ii) a method of characterizing silicon retinas, which makes it possible to accurately assess the pixels' response to transient luminous changes in a ±3-decade range, as well as changes in the initial steady-state intensity in a 7-decade ran...

Quasi steady-state enzyme kinetic models are increasingly used in systems modelling. The Michaelis Menten model is popular due to its reduced parameter dimensionality, but its low-enzyme and irreversibility assumption may not always be valid in the in vivo context. Whilst the total quasi-steady state assumption (tQSSA) model eliminates the reactant stationary assumptions, its mathematical compl...

The electrocatalytic oxidation of vitamin B6 (pyridoxine hydrochloride) was demonstrated on a Nafion/lead ruthenate pyrochlore modified electrode (designated as NCME) by cyclic voltammetry. The catalytic activity of vitamin B6 was explored in terms of the higher oxidation state of ruthenium species, i.e., Py-Ru/Ru in the pyrochlore network (Py). The mediated mechanism was derived by Michaelis-M...

A method based on the rate of depletion of a nutrient from solution was developed to characterize nutrient flux of plant roots. Nutrient concentration of the solution was measured at a series of time intervals to describe the complete depletion curve. An integrated rate equation, based on a Michaelis-Menten model, was developed and fit to the data of the depletion curve using a least-square pro...

For enzymatic progress curves conforming to the Michaelis–Menten mechanism (E + S ES → E + P) under the experimental conditions where the substrate concentration is at least several times smaller than the Michaelis constant, the minimal fitting model cast as a system of numerically integrated differential equations is the simple ‘hit-and-run’ mechanism, E + S → E + P. The best-fit value of sing...
