THE equation of Michaelis and Menten [1913] has been applied with success by Kuhn [1924] and others to numerous cases of enzyme action. It is therefore desirable to examine its theoretical basis. Consider the irreversible reaction A-+ B, unimolecular as regards A, and catalysed by an enzyme. Suppose one molecule of A to combine reversibly with one of enzyme, the compound then changing irreversibly into free enzyme and B, where B may represent several molecules. We may represent this as: A+ E= AE B+ E.(ax)(ep) px Now let a be the initial concentration of A, e the total concentration of entyme, x the concentration of B produced after time t, and p the concentration of enzyme combined with substrate at time t. We suppose e and p to be negligibly small compared with a and x. Then by the laws of mass action dP= k1 (a-x)(e-p)-k2p-k3p, where k1, k2, k3 are the velocity constants of the reactions
