Example R9.6-3: Derive a Rate Law for a Multiple Substrate System
Derive the rate law for this sequence assuming that the rate of reaction
between the (ADH NADH)
complex and acetaldehyde is rate limiting. |
|||
| Solution | |||
| Assuming that the reaction between the cofactor-enzyme complex and acetaldehyde is rate limiting, the rate law is | |||

to (ES2)
and (E  )
to obtain the equations |

(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: | |||

(RE7.4-3.7) | ||
| Setting P2 = 0 and rearranging, we obtain the initial rate law: | |||
