Abstract

Double substrate enzyme kinetics has a leading role for product quantification and optimization in different chemical and biochemical sectors. Mathematical approach for controlling these reactions in different stages by suitable parameters adds a new dimension in this interdisciplinary field of research. Applying control theoretic approach in the reversible backward stages of double substrate enzymatic model, time economization with regard to product formation is significant. In this article, we formulate a double substrate mathematical model of enzymatic dynamical reaction system with control measures with a view to observe the effect of changes of these measures with respect to the concentration of substrates, enzyme, complexes and finally product. Here, Pontryagin Minimum Principle is used for observing the effect of control measures in the system dynamics with the help of Hamiltonian. We compare the relevant numerical solutions for the substrates, enzyme, complexes and product concentration profile for a specified time interval with respect to control factors.
