Local production rate of an “enzyme kinetics” based on coupled random walks

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter

Abstract

Based on the coupled random walk process, a local production rate of an “enzyme kinetics” is studied. A substrate as a walker is specified by a set of the jumping probabilities between the sites and between the modes. The modes represent the states of the substrate before, in and after the reaction. The local production rate is explicitly given and its position dependence is studied in terms of jumping probabilities. Qualitatively, the deviations from the Michaelis-Menten's expression are discussed.
