Table 5:

Reaction rates. Observe that for the two fast time scale parameters, ε and ε′, the precise values in the fast/slow propagation scheme are not important, since only the ratios defining the equilibrium conditions are needed in the model. When carbonic anhydrase is present, the reaction rates k±1 are enhanced by an acceleration factor, denoted by A.
