Abstract

Homotopy perturbation method is used to extend the approximate analytical solutions of non-linear reaction equations describing enzyme kinetics for combinations of parameters for which solutions obtained in previous works are not valid. Also, by constructing a new homotopy, alternative approximate analytical expressions for substrate, substrate-enzyme complex and product concentrations are found. These first-order approximate solutions give more accurate results than the second-order approximations derived in previous works.
