Kinetic Analysis for the New Enzymology

In Kinetic Analysis for the New Enzymology, Dr. Johnson brings 40 years of research and sets forth a new approach to teach the conceptual basis underlying kinetic analysis, going beyond the steady-state to directly observe reactions occurring at the active sites of enzymes. Using the full power of computer simulation to model kinetics and equilibria, we escape the bounds of equation-based data fitting and find answers to important mechanistic questions.

The text is built around KinTek Explorer software. Through practice exercises, you will learn how to use dynamic computer simulation to explore key kinetic concepts. Using the software, you can easily scroll the value of a given rate constant, starting concentration of reactants, or output scaling factors, and immediately see the effect on the output signal. This process provides a critical visual link between a model, underlying parameters, and the observable signal.
