Abstract
This paper continues an earlier one [Hill, T.L. (1977) Proc. Natl . Acad. Sci. USA 74, 3632-3632] and presents further introductory examples. Most attention is devoted to a closed linear chain of two-state enzyme molecules with nearest-neighbor interactions. The one-dimensional Ising theory can be used here. The Bragg-Williams (mean field) approximation is introduced to deal with a one-, two-, or three-dimensional lattice of enzyme molecules, at steady state, with an arbitrary kinetic diagram. The behavior of the flux in a phase transition is noted. Finally, a treatment is given for the first effect (second "viral" coefficient) of interactions on the flux in a dilute solution of two-state enzyme molecules.
