On the solution to the Michaelis-Menten equation

S L Beal

    Journal of Pharmacokinetics and Biopharmaceutics
    |February 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    A new explicit solution to the Michaelis-Menten equation is introduced, replacing the traditional exponential function with a simpler alternative. This provides a more accessible method for analyzing enzyme kinetics.
