Section 5.6: Multisubstrate Kinetics
- Many enzyme reactions are more complicated than the single-substrate, single-product example that
we have been using
- Enzymes often catalyze reactions with multiple substrates and products. There can also be multiple
kinds of sequences, where the order in which substrates enter and products leave can vary
- The kinetics of such multisubstrate reactions is considerably more complex as well, and we won't
be covering them in this course. But it's important to be aware of the kinds of additional steps and interactions
that can occur
- We'll take a quick look at some of the diagrams and notation used in multisubstrate reactions
