The conclusion that the steady-state kinetics of isotope exchange at equilibrium do not show first-order behaviour for some one substrate–one product enzymic mechanisms in which two molecules of substrate or product can be combined with an enzyme molecule at the one time was shown to be erroneous.

Steady-state kinetic equations for isotope exchange are derived for a number of one substrate–one product enzymic mechanisms in which two molecules of substrate or product can be combined with an enzyme molecule at the one time (e.g. allosteric mechanisms). The usual assumption, that the radioactive material is distributed among the substrate and product components according to a first-order law, is not valid. One can recognize whether isotope-exchange kinetics of an enzyme reaction follows first-order behaviour by using various initial concentrations of the labelled substance added to a mixture.

In predictive biofilm modeling, the detachment rate coefficient may be the most sensitive variable affecting both the predicted rate and the extent of biofilm accumulation. At steady state the detachment rate must be equal to the net growth rate in the biofilm. In systems where organic carbon is growth-limiting, the substrate carbon utilization rate determines the net biomass production rate and, therefore, the steady state biomass detachment rate. Detachment rates, first order with biofilm thickness, fit the experimental data well, but are not predictive since the coefficients must be determined experimentally.
