Abstract:
Recently derived steady-state differential rate laws for the catalytic turnover of molecules containing two substrate sites are reformulated as integrated rate laws. The analysis applies to a broad class of Markovian dynamic models, motivated by the varied and often complex mechanisms associated with DNA modifying enzymes. Analysis of experimental data for the methylation kinetics of DNA by Dam (DNA adenine methyltransferase) is drastically improved through the use of integrated rate laws. Data that are too noisy for fitting to differential predictions are reliably interpreted through the integrated rate laws.

03:08Rate-Determining Steps
In a multistep reaction mechanism, one of the elementary steps progresses significantly slower than the others. This slowest step is called the rate-limiting step (or rate-determining step). A reaction cannot proceed faster than its slowest step, and hence, the rate-determining step limits the overall reaction rate.
The concept of rate-determining step can be understood from the analogy of a 4-lane freeway with a short-stretch of traffic-bottleneck caused due to...
