چکیده

Enzyme kinetics studies normally focus on the initial rate of enzymatic reaction. However, the manual operation of steps of the conventional enzyme kinetics method has some drawbacks. Errors can result from the imprecise time control and time necessary for manual changing the reaction cuvettes into and out of the detector. By using the automatic flow-based analytical systems, enzyme kinetics studies can be carried out at real-time initial rate avoiding the potential errors inherent in manual operation. Flow-based systems have been developed to provide rapid, low-volume, and high-precision analyses that effectively replace the many tedious and high volume requirements of conventional wet chemistry analyses. This article presents various arrangements of flow-based techniques and their potential use in future enzyme kinetics applications.

The Kinetics of Enzyme Mixtures

Even purified enzyme preparations are often heterogeneous. For example, preparations of aspartate aminotransferase or cytochrome oxidase can consist of several different forms of the enzyme.  For this reason we consider how different the kinetics of the reactions catalysed by a mixture of forms of an enzyme must be to provide some indication of the characteristics of the species present.  Based...

Kinetics and Isotherm Studies of the Immobilized Lipase on Chitosan Support

The kinetics and isotherm studies of the immobilized lipase and the mechanism of immobilization on chitosan beads and activated chitosan beads with glutaraldehyde were investigated. The effect of glutaraldehyde on porosity of chitosan was evaluated by FESEM analysis. It was observed that the porosity of the carrier which has activated by glutaraldehyde was substantially increased. The validity ...

Measurement of enzyme kinetics using a continuous-flow microfluidic system.

This paper describes a microanalytical method for determining enzyme kinetics using a continuous-flow microfluidic system. The analysis is carried out by immobilizing the enzyme on microbeads, packing the microbeads into a chip-based microreactor (volume approximately 1.0 nL), and flowing the substrate over the packed bed. Data were analyzed using the Lilly-Hornby equation and compared to value...

Rapid High Performance Liquid Chromatographic Determination of Risperidone in Human Plasma

A simple, rapid and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method for the determination of risperidone in human plasma was developed. An HPLC system based on a Nucleosil C8 column (150?4 mm) and a UV detector (?= 280 nm) were used. A mixture of sodium dihydrogen phosphate buffer-acetonitrile (55:45, v/v) adjusted to pH 6.0 at a flow rate of 1.5 ml min-1 was used as mobile phas...
