Background:

Enzyme kinetics are crucial for understanding biological processes.
Accurate estimation of kinetic parameters requires robust analytical methods.
Existing methods may not adequately address diverse enzyme mechanisms.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a versatile software package for estimating Michaelis-Menten parameters.
To accommodate enzymes following various kinetic mechanisms.
To provide a tool for discriminating between competing kinetic models.

Main Methods:

Developed a package program for Michaelis-Menten parameter estimation.
Implemented fitting to 6 mathematical models covering 5 kinetic mechanisms (ordered bi-bi, Theorell-Chance, rapid equilibrium random bi-bi, rapid equilibrium ordered bi-bi, ping pong bi-bi).
