The turning wheel: a study in steady states.

J Wyman

    Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
    |October 1, 1975

    Summary

    This study models enzymatic systems using an r-dimensional cube, revealing how macromolecules can act as transducers to drive reactions. The system demonstrates asymptotic stability and predictable linkage relations in a steady state.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
    • Chemical Kinetics
    • Systems Biology

    Background:

    • Enzymatic reactions involve complex interactions between macromolecules and ligands.
    • Understanding the dynamic behavior of enzyme systems is crucial for elucidating reaction mechanisms.
    • Previous models often simplify the multi-state dynamics of polyfunctional enzymes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a theoretical framework for representing polyfunctional enzyme systems.
    • To investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the transduction of energy between enzymatic reactions.
    • To analyze the stability and dynamic behavior of such systems in a steady state.

    Main Methods:

    • A system of a polyfunctional enzyme and its ligands in a fixed volume was modeled.
    • The system was represented as an r-dimensional cube, with corners denoting microscopic states.
    • Steady-state analysis and the cofactor principle were applied to derive linkage relations.

    Main Results:

    • The polyfunctional macromolecule's circulation around the cube edges was predicted in the steady state.
    • This circulation provides a molecular mechanism for one enzymatic reaction to drive another.
    • The system was found to be asymptotically stable with derivable linkage relations.

    Conclusions:

    • Polyfunctional enzymes can act as molecular transducers, linking distinct enzymatic reactions.
    • The r-dimensional cube model effectively captures the dynamic behavior of these systems.
    • The steady-state analysis confirms the system's stability and predictable kinetic behavior.
