Abstract

1. Several methods of analysing progress curves of enzyme-catalysed reactions are discussed briefly in relation to their usefulness in a situation where a reaction product has a Ki much lower than the Km for the substrate 2. A comparison is made of different methods of estimating initial rates in this situation. 3. The use of a computer curve-fitting routine capable of handling functions of more than one variable for the extraction of kinetic parameters from progress curves is described. 4. This method and that of fitting time as a polynomial in product concentration are applied to progress curves for the soluble mitochondrial adenosine triphosphatase and the results are compared with values obtained by more conventional methods.
