A systematic method for the compilation of the King & Altman graphs of a steady-state enzyme model suitable for...

The schematic way of computing the King & Altman (1956) patterns for complex enzyme models is rather tedious. In this paper, a systematic method for the compilation of these patterns is proposed. This method ensures the generation of all the King & Altman patterns including those containing cycles. The importance of such patterns for an automatic recognition of the cyclic pathways of a given model is emphasized. The suggested algorithm is suitable for manual or computer processing.
