(RE7.4-3.1) (RE7.4-3.2) |
||
we add Equations (RE7.4-3.1) and (RE7.4-3.2) and rearrange to obtain | |||

(RE7.4-3.3) (RE7.4-3.4) | ||
The total enzyme concentration is again constant at (Et): | |||

(RE7.4-3.5) (RE7.4-3.6) | ||
After solving Equation (RE7.4-3.6) for E, we combine with Equation (RE7.4-3.1) to obtain the rate law: | |||
