The scope and limitations of a simple and satisfactory method of deducing steady-state rate equations is described. This method (called the Flux Method) consists in writing down the flux in successive steps of the reaction, and calculating the relative concentration of enzyme forms and thence the turnover time. Kinetic mechanisms for linear and branched pathways are used as examples of this method.

A criticism [Cornish-Bowden (1976) Biochem. J. 159, 167] of an algebraic method for deriving steady-state rate equations [Indge & Childs (1976) Biochem. J. 155, 567-570] is theoretically founded.

A FORTRAN 77 program is described for the derivation of steady-state rate equations for enzyme kinetics. Input is very simple and consists of the two enzyme forms and the two rate constants for each step in the mechanism. The program may be run interactively or off-line. The results are produced after collecting together the algebraic coefficients of like concentration terms, taking account of sign. A fully interactive BASIC version running on a BBC Microcomputer is also available. Details of the programs have been deposited as Supplementary Publication SUP 50126 (45 pages) with the British Library Lending Division, Boston Spa, Wetherby, West Yorkshire LS23 7BQ, U.K., from whom copies may be obtained as indicated in Biochem. J. (1984) 217, 5.

1. Two methods are described for deriving the steady-state velocity of an enzyme reaction from a consideration of fluxes between enzyme intermediates. The equivalent-reaction technique, in which enzyme intermediates are systematically eliminated and replaced by equivalent reactions, appears the most generally useful. The methods are applicable to all enzyme mechanisms, including three-substrate and random Bi Bi Ping Pong mechanisms. Solutions are obtained in algebraic form and these are presented for the common random Bi Bi mechanisms. The steady-state quantities of the enzyme intermediates may also be calculated. Additional steps may be introduced into enzyme mechanisms for which the steady-state velocity equation is already known. 2. The calculation of fluxes between substrates and products in three-substrate and random Bi Bi Ping Pong mechanisms is described. 3. It is concluded that the new methods may offer advantages in ease of calculation and in the analysis of the effects of individual steps on the overall reaction. The methods are used to show that an ordered addition of two substrates to an enzyme which is activated by another ligand will not necessarily give hyperbolic steady-state-velocity kinetics or the flux ratios characteristic of an ordered addition, if the dissociation of the ligand from the enzyme is random.

A schematic method for the derivation of steady-state enzyme rate equations by using the Wang algebra is described. The method is simple, easy to learn and offers a substantial decrease in analytical effort over previously published algorithms. Being essentially an algebraic procedure the method can be readily computerized. Computer programs in BASIC and ALGOL languages have been deposited as Supplementary Publication SUP 50065 (19 pages) at the British Library (Lending Division), Boston Spa, Wetherby, W. Yorkshire LS23 7BQ, U.K., from whom copies can be obtained on the terms indicated in Biochem. J. (1976). 153, 5.
