The third edition of Fundamentals of Enzyme Kinetics conserves the features of previous editions by emphasizing the principles of enzyme kinetics and explaining these principles as simply and accurately as possible. The text has been thoroughly revised to explain concepts even more clearly and some of the material has been reorganized into a more logical sequence. The important topic of irreversible inhibition is covered in more detail, there is a fuller discussion of methods for studying fast reactions and there are many other additions throughout the book, including new bibliographical references to take account of recent developments. This book provides undergraduates, research students and researchers with a basis for understanding enzyme kinetics. Contents: Basic Principles of Chemical Kinetics Introduction to Enzyme Kinetics Practical Aspects of Kinetic Studies Deriving Steady-State Rate Equations Reversible Inhibition and Activation Tight-binding and Irreversible Inhibitors Reactions of More than One Substrate Use of Isotopes for Studying Enzyme Mechanisms Effect of pH on Enzyme Activity Temperature Effects on Enzyme Activity Control of Enzyme Activity Kinetics of Multi-Enzyme Systems Fast Reactions Estimation of Kinetic Constants
